I recall reading on here that they were going to cease to be reported come
November, any mroe updates on this situation, will they just stop ? THis was
murmered back in 2006, but thankfully never happened then.

Are there any lines to this ?

Raining steadily now at Southend..

Hi Keith - I received notification from the Met Office on 9th August that the
use of the SYNOP code would terminate in November (no precise date was given).
It was a formal notification as I am a paying customer for some data. I haven't
heard anything further since then. I'll rattle the cage a bit this week for an
update.

I have discussed this with contacts in the USA and they were not aware of any
immediate plans to terminate the use of the SYNOP code.
