I suggest contacting your local met office station who should be able to help even if it's not one of theirs

If the number is long, unwieldy and punctuated -- something like 123/75757-86/939 -- try entering it into a search engine like Google. If the sequence is unique you might find a website that lists it? (Far-fetched, I know, but I can't think of anything else apart from the Met Office!)
