Monthly Weather Report Additions and Alterations
~ Phenomena - Values for that month are now counted automatically.
~ The following time alterations have been made.
A "p" located on the right hand side of any time means that the reading occurred on the previous day to that stated.
A "n" located on the right hand side of any time means that the reading occurred on the next day to that stated.
This is due to my reports being mainly automatic and also data being recorded from 9am - 9am.
This has been back-dated to the beginning of the year with these reports.
Max/Min Data Additions and Alterations
~ The above time alterations have been made to all my max/min data as well, and are back-dated as far back as possible.
~ Code changes for the following phenomina include:
t = Thunderstorm,  s = Distant Thunderstorm,  h = Hail,  d = Dew,  g = Fog,  f = Frost
These have deen back dated to the beginning of this year only. This allows them to be counted automatically.
NOTE - A "t" is automatically counted as a "t" & an "s". A "g" is automatically counted as a "g" & a "d". An "f" is automatically
counted as an "f" & a "d". If a "g" & an "f" occurr in the same period, they only count as one (not two) for "d".
~ The "Phenomena" word is now standard throughout all my data records (including these reports).
