Hello,
When using the following script to download ERA5 model level data for a several day time period (to prepare WRF boundary conditions), the request completes without error but the resulting NetCDF file is missing 2 days worth of data (between 2018-04-25 and 2018-04-26) while data is present for the 24 and 26-27 of April 2018.
I've tested this for two other time periods and a similar problem occurs. Any idea what may be the issue in my script or in general?
Thank you for any help,

start_date = '2018-04-24'
end_date = '2018-04-27'

}
