Good - meanwhile, I used to look at the jetstream forecasts there.  I 
know I've seen them somewhere else but can't remember for the life of me 
where.  Can anyone help?

No sign of Metcheck returning yet. Looks like the address has been
hijacked.

The following message from Metcheck appears on their home page which is 
currently available at http://92.48.114.106/V40/UK/HOME/ :

"Welcome to Metcheck
Added : Thu 10 July : 09:06 BST

Yep, this is it.. the new Metcheck box.

Whaddya think?

The new set up is 2 huge beasts of servers pumping out your favourite 
weather information. Not just that, but a separate database server to handle 
everything else.

We're still waiting for the name to change servers, so at the moment you've 
got a delightful IP address to use, however won't be long till the rest of 
the world will catch up.

Now stop reading this and go get your weather forecast for today."
