Weather
As the UK's official weather service we play a vital role in helping the country be aware of, and cope during, times of extreme weather. We also help you plan your day to day activities by providing accurate and reliable weather forecasts on TV and radio, in print, and online.
Providing forecasts for the public
The Met Office provides a wide range of forecasts and warnings to help you make informed decisions about your day to day activities.
These include forecasts for more than 10000 locations worldwide (UK and world) and regional text forecasts within the UK as well as more specialist forecasts for leisure activities such as walking in the mountains and beach safety. In addition we provide severe weather warnings to help safeguard life and property.
We make our forecasts and warnings available through a wide range of platforms including the web, mobile phones, social media and desktop widgets. We also provide content for website owners to include on their own websites.
We also provide latest observations for more than 100 weather stations around the UK, radar and satellite imagery and information about the UK climate.
