Is that 06240 Keith?
Weather Underground is still reporting with full Metars every 30 mins or so

Yes Paul that is 06240 Amsterdam. EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol,
Netherlands
Metars (in Europe) don't report Maximum/Minimum temperatures so although
WU is a good guide, it does'nt give the actual reading to a 1/10th of a
degree like the synops do. Plus it's the synops that I use, not Metars.
I can get the daily Max/Min and rainfall from the Dutch Met site ...
They can also been found via WeatherOnline...

but rounded up.
Amsterdam-Schiphol 5° (Actual 4.8°c)

A bit of a pain, but precisely my point, why have the dutch stopped
sending Amsterdam 06240? The data's obviously there.
I can make it up: AAXX 18061 06240 333 20048 70000=
But when you have to start fiddling around like this it begins to mount
up with time.
I like to live in a reliable, constant and fair world, some hope that is
nowadays.
Thanks for your reply as I am getting a bit disillusioned with it all
atm. As they say "Nothings forever"
