Continuing the discussion from [Release 3.388 (4 Nov 2022") Beta](https://forum.flowx.io/t/release-3-388-4-nov-2022-beta/1401):
@duane
Why has HIRLAM been retired?
And why is it so hard to find any information about it?
I’ve found that
“The Finnish Meteorological Institute will stop using the HIRLAM weather forecast model in October 2022.”

And that the homepage
[https://hirlam.org/](https://hirlam.org/) seams to be simply just turned off.
