You were absolutly right. METRo did have a bug when the observation and the forecast time were the same. I did a bug report. You can see all the details here: https://gna.org/bugs/index.php?10335 I did a fix in the code. You can see the difference between the 2 versions of the corrected file: http://svn.gna.org/viewcvs/metro/metro/trunk/src/frontend/executable_module/metro_preprocess_qa_qc_observation.py?rev=157&r1=98&r2=157 If you want to patch it right now, you can download the revision tagged 157 of this file and replace the one you are currently using (metro_preprocess_qa_qc_observation): http://svn.gna.org/viewcvs/*checkout*/metro/metro/trunk/src/frontend/executable_module/metro_preprocess_qa_qc_observation.py?rev=157 Patch will be included in version 3.1.1 Tell me if it works.
