I am writing to acknowledge receipt of your official information request dated 21 June for
the reason the sunshine hours were removed from the Past Weather section of your
website from April 2023.
Please note that because your request via FYI was not forwarded to the correct address,
we did not receive this request until 28 July 2025. Consequently, 28 July is the date of
receipt.
As a result, response is due as soon as reasonably practicable and in any case no longer
than 20 working days after 28 July 2025, that being 25 August 2025. If we are unable to
respond to your request by then, we wil notify you of an extension of that timeframe.
Your request is being handled by our legal team. If you have any queries, please feel free
