metgrid.exe: ERROR: Missing values encountered in interpolated fields. Stopping. Whe I'm using ERA5

[BenjaminArteagaD]

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to use ERA5 as a lateral boundary condition. I can run the geogrid and ungrib succesfully. But when I'm running the metgrid, I have this error:

metgrid.exe
Processing domain 1 of 1
Processing 2024-03-01_00
FILE_P
FILE_S
WARNING: Field PRES has missing values at level 200100 at (i,j)=(1,1)
WARNING: Field PMSL has missing values at level 200100 at (i,j)=(1,1)
WARNING: Field PSFC has missing values at level 200100 at (i,j)=(1,1)
ERROR: Missing values encountered in interpolated fields. Stopping.
Note: The following floating-point exceptions are signalling: IEEE_OVERFLOW_FLAG.

I have to say that I read other posts related with this error and, I make my ERA5 region that I downloaded from CDS bigger than the domain that I want to simulate, and I still have this error. Specifically;

My domain have these dimensions:
North: -35,82
South: -47,07
East: -64.75
West: -81.12

And the dimensions of ERA5 are:
North: -20
South: -60
East: -60
West: -90

I have to use bigger dimensions of ERA5? Or what other thing could be the trouble?
I also added the namelist.wps in a .txt file
Thanks for your support.

This error is caused by the small area covered by ERA5. Your WRF domain is beyond the area where ERA5 data is available.
Can you download global ERA5 and rerun ungrib, then move on to metgrid?

In the first instance, I'm trying to avoid downloading global ERA5, due that I have to run a one-month simulation in a server of my university with more than 90% of its capacity occupied.

In this case you will have to enlarge the area covered by your ERA5 subset.

I finally fixed the issue!, that was the error, but I have to use this dimensions to finally run the wrf, 'area':[-10,-120,-69.75,-30,], I had to increase it more than a "slight increasing", as other answers say.

Thanks for the update. i am glad it works!
