Met Office Storm Tracker Update

Met Office Storm Tracker Update
(the updated new service is free of subscription.)

"Following a recent upgrade to StormTracker, we are providing the new service free of subscription. As a result you will no longer have access to the subscription based service you have previously used.
From the 26th February the old StormTracker pages will no longer be available.  Instead, you can now access StormTracker without the need to log in, by simply following the link below:

We welcome any feedback on this service and would love to hear your thoughts on the new StormTracker.

Many thanks,
Met Office"
