Wrong day for some stations

Featured Replies

I tried the weather sequencing today for the first time and stumbled across something weird:I downloaded this sequence2005-06-21 09z to 12z, resulting in these files:20050621_09Z_archive.dat20050621_10Z_archive.dat20050621_11Z_archive.dat20050621_12Z_archive.datNow when looking inside these files at ESGP, the third hour is from the day before:ESGP::ESGP 210920Z 18012KT 9999 SCT033 BKN055 19/14 Q1014::ESGP...ESGP::ESGP 211020Z 14007KT 110V170 9000 TSRA FEW005 SCT022CB BKN040...ESGP::ESGP 201020Z 20008KT CAVOK 21/09 Q1019::ESGP 210830Z 210921...ESGP::ESGP 211150Z 14011KT 5000 TS RA FEW046CB OVC061 16/16...I know for sure that it was not CAVOK at that time. A major thunderstorm crossed all over here then. My guess is that the weather is wrongly from the day before.What is more disturbing is that I found many other stations in these archives that came from the day before, 20 instead of 21.I haven't tested more than these but thought a heads up was needed ASAP. Something is wrong with these dates.

Hi,Thanks for looking into it. I hope you also manage to correct the old archives as I have some dates I'd like to go back to later.When thinking of it, this problem could perhaps be the reason some people see big shifts in pressure/winds during flight. I've however not seen this dateshift in online weather yet, only when using archived sequencing.

Ok, I see. I thought you saved the raw METARs as well. Still I understand the space required after a few years of such data too. Hope you can sort the problems out and get better and better data.
