Long time no lurk.

The old Buchan weather data site which we reinstated some time ago in
memory of my mother has, we think, come to the end of its usefulness
and it will be taken down at the end of the month.
I know some people here linked to it so it seemed appropriate to inform
of this decision.

There is now a new, non-scientific site - a sort of news blog - which
has current weather information on it.

It is at (standard link) http://nfn.opcop.org.uk and (secure link)
https://nfn.anamedas.org.uk

On the home page, there is a weather panel at the top right. A key to
the symbols may, if needed, be obtained by clicking on the panel.

The details are updated from time to time during the day and they
reflect the weather, not a forecast of the weather.
Global temps are in the 'Briefs' section under 'Climate Change'.

The site has a Twitter feed @FreeNfn which is even more recent than the
web site so has almost no followers although that is not a priority.

I see there are some new names here, as well as older ones. Perhaps
Usenet is not yet dead.


On topic: winter has ended and not one single flake of snow here,
unless one fell while we were asleep and vanished before we regained
consciousness.

Regards,

Asha.
