Anyone know if Hemsby /#3496 is still reporting.

I thought it had shut in 2001, but this site appears to show data for

the
station

http://meteo.infospace.ru/wcarch/htm...tn.sht?stn=245

I think it's just that they haven't updated their basic information ... I
see
they are still using 03534 for Birmingham airport which closed as a
SYNOP station 3 or 4 years ago. The observation on the Hemsby
page is probably Coltishall (03495), and for Birmingham it's
undoubtedly Coleshill (03535).

Hi Philip

Its not Coltishall (or any other local station I can find) as the data does
not match the Coltishall data available here
http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/res...imvisgsod.html

The search goes on!
