Oberservation times
Historically readings were taken by weather observers who were typically not paid and performed the duty as part of their permanent job (i.e. Postal master). These weather readings were taken from 9am one day to 9am the next as unpaid observers were unwilling to take readings from midnight to midnight. Since the advent of Automatic Weather Stations, these time intervals remained, more as a part of tradition.
