I *think* that the only mechanism currently is to report it in the

India doesn't use the 24 hour code 7****, however, the maximum that
can
be reported is 999.8mm, 79998, because 79999 = Trace. Unless they add
another digit to the group, but I don't think that can be done.


.... I thought there was a means of converting the R24R24R24R24 into mm
only, but can't find the reference. If I do, I'll post it on.
