				<title>weatherJSON reporting dupplicate entries</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ Hi, 

I'm considering using GeoNames webservice for an weahter application I'm working on.

I was testing the weatherJSON? webservice to see if it matched my needs and it seems to return dupplicate entries. 

eg : 
<a href='http://ws.geonames.org/weatherJSON?formatted=TRUE&north=46&south=50&east=0&west=2&style=SHORT&maxRows=4' target='_new' rel="nofollow">http://ws.geonames.org/weatherJSON?formatted=TRUE&north=46&south=50&east=0&west=2&style=SHORT&maxRows=4</a>

<blockquote>

This is not a big deal to me as I can de-duplicate them on the fly but is there something I do wrong are is it a bug?

And by the way, how many crédits do I use when issueing this request that should returnthe all METAR database in one shot (I did not check if it's correct or not)
