:Anyone know if Hemsby /#3496 is still reporting.

03496 Hemsby is not in the latest edition of the WMO list of synoptic
stations http://www.wmo.ch/web/www/ois/volume-a/vola-home.htm

Thanks for drawing attention to this site, Joe. Very interesting.

One or two strange places in the list of "populated locations" in the UK
though: Braunschweig and Gifhorn (which are in Germany), Plimut and ...
Danbury.

The German sites seem to have become misplaced in the UK list because of a
mistake in their longitude - given as 1°32'E and 1°33'E instead of 10°32'E
and 10°33'E.
