Default Bournemouth (Hurn) wrong again on Saturday

"Colin Youngs" wrote in message
...
With reference to Martin Rowley's comment on Thursday's figures,
Hurn's
maximum has been reported wrongly again today.

Synop maximum reported for Hurn at 18.00 UTC on Saturday was -2.0°C
but the
Met Office site shows a highest hourly reading of 1.8°C

.... you'd think there would be some sort of simple internal check
within the software before the SYNOP was issued - most odd.
Implementation of MMS (see thread elsewhere) might help.

Martin.
