Didn't they release the update a few months back, and then pulled it shortly after?

All mentions of the update have now now disappeared and the login is as it was with no mention of a Legacy Login

Freddie might correct me, but i believe the Met Office use some PWS data when it comes to potential severe weather at a localised level.
Out of all of the third-party upload's on offer, i think it's the most useful.

You don’t get a medal unless you’ve submitted at least 350 reports per annum. Consistency of reporting.
