Hi reinstated old version and did manual run, all good.
Off to bed now, will see if auto runs are fault free when I awake.
One thing I did note is that in wxsimate, I was running :
Metar : proxy/wxsim (in old and new version)
Synop : proxy/wxsim (in old and new version)
RAOB : rap.ucar.edu (in old but (proxy/wxsim) in new version). did not realise till revert so not sure if it was an underling issue.
kind regards,
