I raised a second API to see if that was the problem hence why you got 2 different ones. The following is from the key ending in f051. Both keys acted the same.

Im using a Python 3 only machine with your forecast.py file from your link you gave me the other day. The weewx version is V4.0.0.b18 and always fails. My main machine runs weewx Version 3.9.2 and downloads from the met office and uses forecast 3.3.2 forecast.py that was modified to use mozilla5.0 to work and works fine. About a couple of months ago UKMO started to fail and via email they suggested to use mozilla5.0. There were others around the UK who also had problems it wasn't just me. It failed HTTP Error 403: Forbidden which is the same as your forecast.py hence why I think it is the same problem. I cant remember the person name, its on this forum somewhere, who changed his code form try: response = urllib2.urlopen(u) return response.read() to try: req = urllib2.Request(u) req.add_header('User-Agent', 'Mozilla/5.0') response = urllib2.urlopen(req) return response.read() This changed worked and we have been using it ever since.
