Timestamps decoding error with ReadNetCDF - metR 0.18.3

[delie0512]

When reading a netcdf file (ERA5 hourly) with ReadNetCDF from metR 0.18.3, the timestamp is decoded partially: only the date is decoded, the time part is missing.

Did not have this problem with metR 0.18.0.

Example with metR 0.18.3:
valid_time latitude longitude u10 number expver v10 d2m

Thanks for the report.
Can you upload a small version of the netcdf file?

[delie0512]

Yes, here is a ncetcf file for one point and 48 hours. Also some code to decode the timestamp outside of metR.

Thank you. The latest version on github should work now.
