Oh the fun of processing METARs. Behold the METAR site MROC Juan Santamaria, Costa Rica. Here's the 0z ob
SACS31 MROC 090000 METAR MROC 090000Z 25005KT 5000 BR FEW005 SCT015 23/23 A2993 NOSIG= and here's the 1z ob: SACS31 MROC 090100 METAR MR0C 090100Z 24005KT 3000 BR FEW002 BKN010 23/22 A3000 NOSIG=Notice what's wrong? :) So the Oh became a zero! So the KWBC collective then missed it.
SACA35 KWBC 090100 METAR ...snipped... MROC NIL=So should I account for this in my METAR ingesting code somehow or alas, the 1z ob on 9 August 2017 is lost forever for MROC :(
