About services for the public

Public Weather Service

The Met Office provides a range of information under the Public Weather Service (PWS), which is funded by the UK Government. This includes generating everything from day-to-day site-specific forecasts to global seasonal predictions. We are also responsible for the National Severe Weather Warning Service, which aims to give advance warning of extreme weather to the public, businesses, emergency services and Government.

Public Weather Service Customer Group

The Public Weather Service Customer Group (PWSCG) is responsible for overseeing the PWS on behalf of the public, reporting to and advising the Under Secretary of State for Defence.
