  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_status_codes
says
  404 Not Found
  The requested resource could not be found but may be available in the
  future. Subsequent requests by the client are permissible.

  410 Gone
  Indicates that the resource requested was previously in use but is
  no longer available and will not be available again. This should be
  used when a resource has been intentionally removed and the resource
  should be purged.

So the server which delivered data now says that it won't do any more.

The question is what URL was used, where it is configured, and what
would be a usable replacement URL.

According to
  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1054248
the "configuration" is possibly hardcoded at
  https://sources.debian.org/src/libmateweather/1.26.3-4/libmateweather/weather-metar.c#L581


Have a nice day :)
