Default SYNOP decode

Wonder if anyone can help me out with this SYNOP

03590 32582 13310 10127 20087 30087 40197 56003 81180 90550 333
20111 30009 55081 55306 20201 81825=

Exactly how many hours of sunshine is this? I thought the 55*** block
provided the past 24 hours sunshine in blocks of 1/10th of an hour? This is
taken from the 06z SYNOP.

Cheers

A

Just to let you know that within 3 hours I had 3 replies from very
knowledgable UKMO staff who took the time to explain the SYNOP sunshine code
to me, am very grateful.

Answer was :

The 553 only reports the sunshine for the last hour. In this case 0.6 hours.

The 550 only reports the sunshine for the past 24 hours. In this case 8.1
hours.


Cheers
