5. WERM basic considerations U.K.

The date_start of validity_period has to be filled with present date (date_issue) and the date_end of validity_period has to be filled with the next day after date_issue.
The fairway section in WERM is indicated as a stretch between two points on the fairway, i.e. area of applicability of the weather station (gauge).

In NtS XSD 4.0 the NtS number is optional within WERM messages. If it is provided every number has to be unique (Organisation/Year/Number/Serial) per message type and it is up to the organisation providing the WERM to ensure unique numbers (it is not required to have consecutive numbers).
