Default Ogimet omitting rainfall groups

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.

Many thanks, Norman and Bruce. Long time no-see, eh, Norman!
What I like about this group is that whenever you have a problem, tbere's
always someone who knows the answer, or at least can shed some light.

Ian.


It is, indeed, a long time, Ian. Much longer than either of us probably cares
to ponder!
