Welcome to the Met Office DataPoint group.

This group supports the Met Office's work as part of the open data initiative to engage with the users of Met Office DataPoint - http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/datapoint, and provide a way for our users to engage with each other. This group is not for providing feedback on our weather forecasts or climate science and is not monitored by the Met Office.

If you become aware of any problems with any of our datafeeds or the API itself, please contact us through our service desk who can ensure the appropriate support team is informed. Details on how to contact us can be found at http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/about-us/contact
