The scripts are a little temperamental, so if there are
problems please be patient. However, comments are welcome.

The files are valid for the last 24 hours, as the archive
is a rolling one.

Hi Roger,

The rainfall totals at the 06hr synop you could use the 24 hour totals
from the 7**** group as most of the UK use these now.

You also have some problem with the grass minimums, a lot of minus
numbers, as far as I can see only Shawbury was -2°c. Aviemore was +7°c
nor -0.1.

I guess you could also put in a humidity figure derived from the wet/dry
bulb temperatures.

Shame we don't get the whole list for all hours, I would love to see
Cairngorm and Aonach More etc on a daily basis :-(

Regards
