Having just read the piece on observation timing on the FAQ pages, I
wanted to see what the majority do with regards timings.

10 or so years ago, as a teenager with admittedly not much of an eye for
detail, I used to take my readings at 1800 local time each day, noting the
max/mins for the previous 24 hours. However, having had a little look on
various sites I see 0900 local seems to be a more common time, along with
splitting the climatological day into two periods. Or is a "normal" day
seen as acceptable (00-24 local)?

Thanks,

Luke

Personally I use actual days i.e. 00-24 as that is the only way that makes
any sense to me at all.
