Interesting METAR for Benbecula
Just been browsing recent METARS and found this for Benbecula:
EGPL 312120Z AUTO 02008KT 9999NDV FEW020/// SCT033/// M28/// Q1013 I know it's been very cold north of the border but an air temperature of -28C? - can't be credible surely! Steve Graham Rossendale 950' AMSL |

No, and especially not for Benbecula, which from its location ought to be one of the least cold spots in Scotland. I expect that somebody had finger trouble when typing it into a computer (I assume that the logging is all computerised these days). -- John Hall "[It was] so steep that at intervals the street broke into steps, like a person breaking into giggles or hiccups, and then resumed its sober climb, until it had another fit of steps."
