This was one of my favourite sites - and it hasn't been updated since 17
September. I don't suppose anyone could suggest an alternative or have any
inside knowledge as to when or if it might return?

Cheers

Not sure exactly what information you are interested in on those charts, James,
but the following is excellent for at least part of the area (watch out for
line-wrap):

It has the added advantage of being updated hourly. On the station plots the
red number top-left is the temperature, the green number bottom-left is the dew
point, the blue number top-right is the MSL pressure (013 = 1001.3mb, 974 =
997.4mb etc). The wind flags show the direction from which the wind is blowing.
Each full-length feather on the end represents 10 knots and a half-length
feather represents 5 knots. The red number middle-right is the change in MSL
pressure over the past 3 hours (+26 means a rise of 2.6mb while -15 means a
fall of 1.5mb.

There's a corresponding chart showing much more detail for the British Isles at
the following (again watch the line-wrap)

Many thanks - it was specially the Arctic and surrounding region that I was
interested in and specially the convenience of the colour coding.

Thanks again
