So plot times 0200,0800,1400,2000 correspond to 0100,0700,1300,1900 BST
(0,6,12,1800 GMT)
Different start and end days of daylight saving , but in the depths of
winter.
If plot times are 0100,0700,1300,1900 they then still correspond to GMT

Yes Len's right, the times of all meteorological observations are UTC.

I'd managed to convince myself that runs would not be hindcast ,so a run
at 12:10 to 12:40 GMT must be for a 13:00 GMT forcast and successive 12
hour forecasts, in the MetO case. Also 1,7,13,19hr ouputs would mean all
4 four would be in one day , avoiding the 00:00 complication of which
day it falls into.

Any ideas what the "coloured diodes" proprly translates as, in the
almost complete machine translation of

I can't trace any meaning of "diode" other than those of the same word in English. Does it refer to some kind of bright spot marking something ?(difficult to say without being able to see what is being described).

The word "échéances" presumably refers to the times of the runs (e.g. the 12.00 GMT run): an "échéance" is a deadline, the end of a period of time when something must happen ("maturity" only in the financial context: e.g. the date when a loan must be repaid).
The phrase "permettent de suivre l'avancement" means "allow the progress .... to be tracked".

Otherwise, the translation is pretty sound !

Perhaps a typo error that got in, is there a translation adjunct
consisting of a database of valid French words that are close to a given
word, I doubt it? In this case "diodes" that have one or two letters
different or missing or added?

It probably means dots as in the click-on hotspots under the plot on these

L'esprit d'escalier and all that Francaise.
To the meteociel graphic designer, those 3 dots looked like a string of
light emitting diodes, and diodes got in the text rather than LEDs

Different start and end days of daylight saving , but in the depths of

Change from summertime to wintertime takes place on the same date in all EU countries, during the last weekend in October. So both UK and France put clocks back one hour on the night of Saturday 29th October this year.

In spring, similarly, summertime starts on the same date throughout the EU.

Yes, I thought it was probably something like that. The dots look like LEDs so the writer calls them "diodes". In French, DEL is also used as well as LED (= diode électroluminescente).

Same logic as "radio buttons": so-called because they look and act like radio buttons https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_button
