How to read the SEQM METAR
A METAR always follows the same order, so once you know the pattern you can read any station — including SEQM — at a glance:
- Station & time — the ICAO code (SEQM) and the observation time in UTC (Zulu).
- Wind — direction in degrees true and speed in knots, with gusts after a G. This is what SkyStudy matches against the Mariscal Sucre International Airport runways above.
- Visibility & weather — prevailing visibility, then any precipitation or obscuration codes.
- Cloud — cover and base in hundreds of feet AGL (FEW, SCT, BKN, OVC).
- Temperature / dewpoint and the altimeter setting close out the report.

Where does the SEQM weather data come from?
The live METAR and TAF are pulled from the public NOAA Aviation Weather Center feed, the same authoritative source used in flight planning, and refreshed every few minutes. SkyStudy then layers its runway and wind logic on top.
How many runways does Mariscal Sucre International Airport have?
Mariscal Sucre International Airport has 1 published runway (18/36). SkyStudy combines these runway headings with the live SEQM wind to show which runway end is best aligned right now.
Is the SEQM METAR and TAF decoder free?
Yes. SkyStudy publishes this SEQM weather page as a free tool. If you are studying for EASA ATPL exams, the same METAR and TAF language appears in Meteorology, Flight Planning, and Operational Procedures — and SkyStudy turns it into practice questions and mock exams.
