UK forecast
Five day forecasts are provided for around 5000 locations across the UK. For each location we provide three hourly forecasts of weather, temperature and wind speed and direction, UV and feels like temperature. Alternatively mapped forecasts are available for temperature, rainfall, pressure and cloud.

To change the forecast location, enter a location or the first half of a UK postcode into the search box and then click on the search button.

The map view allows you to view both location and mapped forecasts for the UK.

You can pan and zoom around the map using the controls in the top left of the map or by using your mouse to click and drag the map and the mouse wheel to zoom in and out. Zooming in on a location will display additional location forecasts in that area.
