I was just wondering, how do you report totals over 1000mm in the
synops?


I *think* that the only mechanism currently is to report it in the
Section labelled 333 in the 24 hour total group ... 7R24R24R24R24, where
that amount would be in

milllimetres. I'm not sure if India use that group though ... there is
no mention of it in the 'National' section of the WMO Manual of Codes
for India.

6RRRtR This group is used in the form 6RRR/, RRR indicates the amount of
precipitation which has

fallen since 0300 UTC. When reported, group 6RRR/ is included in Section
3.
