Do we need to remove the metoffice feed in advance of them retiring the data point on the 1st December?

From local EmonHP or [Emoncms.org](http://Emoncms.org)?

DataPoint is being replaced by DataHub for forecasts. Observations are supposed to be replaced with a new service but no details are yet available despite it being developed ‘in the summer’.

edit to add: I’ve just been told _“there is a possibility observation data will be available on Weather DataHub by 23rd September. However this date isn’t 100% confirmed and is subject to change.”_

FWIW, DataHub now has observation data available. It’s a bit weird protocol and the data format is different, so I’m still part way through adapting my program to feed it to my emoncms. I don’t know how much longer Data Point will keep working. It keeps having problems with the data flow getting ‘stuck’ but they restart it when I report it so far ..
