## What to use instead

Move forecasts to Met Office Weather DataHub's Site Specific API at data.hub.api.metoffice.gov.uk/sitespecific/v0/point/hourly, three-hourly, or daily using a DataHub API key. Transitioning requires a new registration and plan, and Weather DataHub offers no like-for-like replacement for DataPoint's observations.
