9SSss -- Supplementary information

90710 10=past hour (proceeds UK gust reports), Ireland does not
report this.

910XX 10=gust in past 10 minutes. 91155=55 knots (UK when
indicator is '4')
911XX 11=gust in past hour 91199 00125 = a gust of 125 knots.
912XX Highest mean wind speed in the time indicated by group 904XX.
e.g. 90410 = last hour's obs, 91234 = highest mean wind 34 knots or
m/s.
(912XX not used for UK reports.)



So this was the synop reporting that gust:
AAXX 29084 03065 46/// /2573 11012 2//// 333 90710 91199 00125 91099 00111=

Does your software allow for the special group for winds over 99 knots?
