A computer-implemented method and system is provided for delivering
immediate (up to the minute) aviation weather information. A pilot makes
a call to a single toll free number and specifies the location he wants
to receive weather from. The system and method disambiguates the location
and then checks to see if immediate weather data is already available
within the system for that location. An informational message tailored to
both the pilot and the location may be delivered to the user prior to the
weather information. If immediate weather data is already available in
the described system, that weather data is communicated to the user via a
computer-generated voice. If not, the system and method determines the
voice phone number for the Automated Weather Observation System (AWOS) at
the specified location, and connects the user by phone directly to the
immediate weather information as generated by the AWOS at that location.
