Hi there,

Had the following messages I thought I'd feed back...

Unrecognised part "1CB" included in METAR "LFMH 021400Z 02005KT 350V060 9999 FEW040CB SCT046 24/M02 Q1002 1CB EST NOSIG"

Unrecognised part "EST" included in METAR "LFMH 021400Z 02005KT 350V060 9999 FEW040CB SCT046 24/M02 Q1002 1CB EST NOSIG"

Thanks Derek, this raises the question, are 1CB or EST actually valid parts of a METAR? I can't find any reference that would indicate they are.
