I should have read the wiki page before.
Found this link there.
weather-broker-cdn.api.bbci.co.uk

Strange checking the ip address going through a mobile phone connection gave 104.91.71.134 which worked ok, any 3 last digits seemed ok.
But using my home internet BT the result came came as 23.59.171.41 which did not work why the different result?

Hmm interesting,

The URL is resolved to an IP address using your DNS server, this might be something your ISP is providing and maybe there is a problem here. You could try forcing your computer to use the google DNS of 8.8.8.8 or the cloudflare DNS of 1.1.1.1.
