Ogimet has developed an annoying habit lately of omitting 6-groups (rainfall) from its synops. As an example, see Kirkwall (03017) for yesterday (the 7th). I’m wondering if I’m missing rainfall thereby because, if so, it will be screwing up my Scottish rainfall records. UKMO say the synops they broadcast have all the 6-groups intact. I clicked on Ogimet’s “Contact” button and sent them a complaint, but just got a non-delivery message
Still, I suppose what you don’t pay for you can hardly complain about, as my sensible wife says.
