I didn't get the impression that the OP wanted to fly offshore himself; it appeared to me that he gets flown offshore as a passenger.

BTW, the AeroWeather app provides the option to automatically decode that information.

But I would certainly agree that the Met Office website should certainly also be consulted wherever possible.
