RMK Very disappointing ... it only rained gently for
a few hours on Saturday evening here.

Starting today I'm switching to the coded method of reporting
cloud heights ... eg 150 = 15000ft, 250 = 25000ft. It takes up
less room.

Just as a minor point of interest, why is the visibility reported
in metric units but the cloud height in imperial?
