<![CDATA[A Low Quality METAR?]]>Take a look at this:

It is obvious that a rain has fallen in this location, but, it has not been detected by the airport weather station!
But, the synoptic report has stated the rain already.Screenshot_2.png
And another case is something like this:
METAR:

I think this METAR has a low quality and it is quite dangerous to rely on it or any similar low quality METAR for aviation or anything else; because I have noticed that deficient in accuracy for some METARs.
I don't know where to report this issue, so, I have decided to discuss it here in the community to get some useful inputs. I suggest making a sort of classification for METARs to determine which ones to rely on and which ones not.
