VOLMET (French - "flying weather") are broadcasts containing meteorological information for aircraft in flight. They include TAF (Terminal Aerodrome Forecast), SIGMET (Significant Meteorological Information), and METAR (Meteorological Terminal Aviation Routine). 

Automated broadcasts typically recite:

• temperature
• dew point
• wind speed and direction
• precipitation
• cloud cover and heights
• visibility
• barometric pressure

HF VOLMETs generally cover a large geographical area and are intercepted by flight crews whilst en-route to an area and out of VHF ATIS (Automatic Terminal Information Service) broadcast range. ATIS are broadcast by individual airports containing specific local airport data.
The information received is used to determine possible flight route deviations by evaluating upcoming weather conditions along their flight route, which are out of aircraft weather radar range.

Frequencies are in KHz, 2K80J3E (USB). Broadcast durations are approximately 5 minutes (hour times are UTC).
