In a letter published in the January edition of Weather. the “popular level” R Met Soc journal, I have suggested that the Met Office should follow the USA, Canada, Germany and France by making GRIB data openly available for use by third parties such as XyGrib, Windy.com, Ventusky.com, etc.
As that might be a step too far or not easily achievable, I have suggested that they follow the example of Jersey Met and put their 4km model output online. Jersey do this at at Wind and wave map.
Anyone who feels strongly about this might like to write to the Met Office and make similar suggestions. The CA has made similar requests but has had no really helpful response so far. The Met Office is a world leader so that it is galling not to be able to access their output in the same way that we can from other countries.
