Default The demise of the SYNOP code

I understand that the long-predicted move from alpha-numeric codes such as
SYNOP is now very imminent. The target date for the end of the use of the SYNOP
code is currently 1st Nov 2010. Some countries are struggling to make that date
so there may be a bit of slippage. Currently, the Met Office plans to cease the
transmission of UK observations in the SYNOP code onto GTS on 1st Nov.

That sad news Norman. I use it to create synoptic charts. I guess
whatever replaces it is not possible to access...
