Only three hourly Synops I’m afraid, and many of them missing from the worst affected regions. At a glance, and from this limited SYNOPSYNOP SYNOP (surface synoptic observations) is a numerical code (called FM-12 by WMO) used for reporting weather observations made by manned and automated weather stations. SYNOP reports are typically mad hourly and consist of groups of numbers (and slashes where data is not available) describing general weather information, such as the temperature, barometric pressure and visibility at a weather station. data, although it looked a pretty windy night, you wouldn’t have thought it had been as severe as it was across the southeast of England. I’ve no idea if my hind sight analysis was anywhere close to the analysis on the day. I was an observer at Kinloss at the time, and missed all the excitement after being posted to Scotland that summer.
