world. Any reason why I'm seeing it, if no one else is?!

Two or three years ago I used to be able to get at that information from
http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/climate/climatedata.html . At some point it
stopped being accessible because of the WMO Resolution 40 problem. Strange
that it still works via some ISPs and not others if that is so.

Anyone know if Hemsby /#3496 is still reporting.

I thought it had shut in 2001, but this site appears to show data for
the
station

http://meteo.infospace.ru/wcarch/htm...tn.sht?stn=245

I think it's just that they haven't updated their basic information ...
I
see
they are still using 03534 for Birmingham airport which closed as a
SYNOP station 3 or 4 years ago. The observation on the Hemsby
page is probably Coltishall (03495), and for Birmingham it's
undoubtedly Coleshill (03535).


Its not Coltishall (or any other local station I can find) as the data
does
not match the Coltishall data available here
http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/res...imvisgsod.html

I have to say I am completely stumped. I've gone extracted data
for the last three weeks, compared them to all available stations in
the area, and there's no match. But the figures look entirely realistic
for somewhere in east Norfolk.
Doesn't seem to be a Wunderground station in the area either.
I suppose it might be one of the USAF bases in East Anglia but
I don't think they go to the bother of recording sunshine, etc.

All the other sites they report seem to be standard synoptic
stations, so I'm baffled.

Thanks for investigating. Did something similiar myself - no joy.

Best Wishes

Yeah, I've been aware of this site for some time - I'm not sure where
they are getting some of these decoded synops from, some readings are
listed for places I have yet to see a synop message from, such as
Equatorial Guinea.
Perhaps they are decoded METARs.A few of these local readings are
quite suspect - I saw one on this RU site the other day that came from
Jan Mayen, Norway and listed the min temp at -17C when the actual
synop gave -1C for the low, the temp. had not even come close to -17C
anytime around the date shown.
