Hi James,
Thank you for your reply. May I ask if your plot contains only
synoptic reports or it is a mixture of METAR and SYNOP? I have no
problems with decoding METARs in SE Asia, but all SYNOP in Philippines
and Indo-China are missing, and oddly, all SYNOP in China are decoded
properly. There are much more SYNOPs than METARs in SE Asia. May I
ask if you can zoom in to around the Philippines to confirm if I am
not seeing just the METAR reports?
