oh dear, oh dear...the new Met Office GA site..

Why oh why change a perfectly functioning website offering up to date wx information which can be easily downloaded to any smart phone, even with the poorest of signal, to this blingy new site requiring a high speed internet connection.


Getting METARs and TAFs out in the back and beyond on my iPhone is vital for flight safety, especially recently with the fog etc the met office should realize that it is not always possible to get the weather from a desktop in a nice warm office...

I can use the TAFs and METAR page on the old site sometimes every few minutes looking for a trend with the weather etc..I don't need a map or the adverts clogging things up..

I cannot get the TAFs and METARs page on my iPhone using the new site for some reason, I even emailed the link to myself but no luck with that either..but I can on my desktop..

Why didn't they just add a few more products to the old site, without all the re registering etc..
Who knows they may extent the cut off date on the old site for a little longer?
