Perhaps I'm slow on the uptake but I've just noticed that the full list of
hourly SYNOPs from UK and Ireland is now available from the usual internet
sites in the USA. The last time I checked it was only 3-hourly that were
available (6-hourly for Ireland). Indeed, there's now a very comprehenseve
set of SYNOPs for the whole of Europe available hourly.


Is there a SYNOP 'translator' anywhere though, as reading them isn't second
nature to me, as it probably is to some here?



It's explained quite well here

It's actually a lot less complicated than it looks.


Thanks for that, but I was really looking for something where you paste
the data in, and it crunches the numbers for you.
