 Please note that EIONET reports the different network_timezone for each station in which the reported observations are. This tool automatically translates all observations to UTC. All observations stored in the eval_new database are in UTC.
-** To date (last review 15/feb/2016) EIONET is still reporting a NULL time zone for observations in Spain, Lithuania, Macedonia and Slovenia.** It is assumed that observations are in UTC. A couple of checks for mainland Spain (networks of Catalunya and Madrid) shown that observations in NULL timezone where indeed reported in UTC. Consequently, observations are stored in UTC.
+** To date (last review 07/apr/2016) EIONET is still reporting a NULL time zone for observations in Spain, Lithuania, Macedonia and Slovenia. It is assumed that observations are in UTC. After some checks for mainland Spain, mixed timezones were found: e.g. Palau Reial station reports data in local time but Madrid reports in UTC. Until this issue is solved (EEA reminded States to provide correct metadata), all observations are stored in UTC. **
