Re: [data-curation] New METAR Reporting Sites



I notice SYNOP 62418 started reporting several days ago, and its obs match HESW.
62418 I can't find location info either.

Good catch.  I'll update my records to list it as an unknown location in Egypt for now.

The lat/long listed on that page isn't anywhere close to Egypt. Guess we'll just have to wait to see if accurate info becomes available later.

When I did a search for HESW airport I found this:

dated 7/17/19

So the HESW code may have been just assigned, and is why it doesn't
show up elsewhere.

Gilbert et. al.,
SEW is the IATA code. I've seen Siwa Oasis North Airport listed with an ICAO of HE24. This is what it is listed as on the weather.gladstonefamily.net site. Although I can't fathom the use of the word airport. It appears to be a short runway plowed out of the sand next to a road. No buildings. Nearest "town" looks to be about 8-10 miles south. Where they would have put an automated weather station to produce metars, I can't say...

Hey Boris,

Is HESW correct? You link below to the wrong airport, SEW, instead of ESW, which I couldn't find.
