You can get by ajax:

fetch('http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/pub/data/weather/uk/climate/stationdata/bradforddata.txt').then(response => response.text).then(text=> { console.log(text); });

If you deal with CORS, of course. I would like something like this:

 const text = `Bradford Location 414900E 435200N, Lat 53.813 Lon -1.772, 134 metres amsl Estimated data is marked with a * after the value. Missing data (more than 2 days missing in month) is marked by ---.
