I know Paul used to post on here for many years, so many will be sad
to hear he passed away last night :-(
It was announced on his website today:-

Very sad to read this news tonight. Funnily enough I looked at his page
last night and saw this forecast, which I now believe was his last.
I spoke to him a couple of times regarding ICS synop - a program for
plotting weather maps from shortwave transmissions, and both came to the
conclusion that it has seen its day due to the interference on short
wave, along with the arrival of the internet.
He was good fun too as Will has pointed out with the snowman thread, as
he told me off for not complying with WMO dimensions for the snowman's
body etc!
Rest in peace and my condolences to his family.
