Does that mean that they're no longer releasing it or that it's been
destroyed?

What about the Freedom of Information Act?

Monthly data is available electronically from 1914 (sunshine
from1929).
My understanding is that one can view earlier station files IF they
still exist. I am waiting hear if the 1904-1913 data I requested is
still available before making a day trip to Exeter. I have pasted a
section of the email I recieved from the MetO archive below.

We are open to the public and you very welcome to visit us (opening
hours below) at Exeter and browse through all the records, as well as
the station history file, which may provide interesting details such
as
site location, instruments used, correspondence between the observers
Met Office etc.
