VOLMET

VOLMET is a radio broadcast service that gives meteorological information for aircraft already in flight. It normally provides routine weather reports for selected aerodromes, often as METARs, on HF or VHF frequencies depending on the region. Pilots use it during cross country or longer flights to check weather at destination and alternate aerodromes without making individual calls. Tune the published VOLMET frequency, listen carefully, and compare the information with your flight plan and fuel options.
