BBC Weather: Local & International Forecasts

A website and mobile app providing real-time weather conditions, 5-day forecasts, and 14-day outlooks for cities worldwide, from the BBC.

What is BBC Weather?

BBC Weather is an online weather service provided by the BBC that offers local, regional and international weather forecasts. The service is available as both a website (bbc.com/weather) and mobile app for iOS and Android devices.

BBC Weather provides current weather conditions including temperature, wind speed/direction, humidity, visibility, UV index and air pressure for thousands of locations globally. In addition to real-time observations, it also offers 5-day hourly forecasts and 14-day outlooks. These forecasts cover major parameters like temperatures (highs/lows), precipitation chances and wind conditions.

The website and app allow users to add multiple locations to track the weather. Other features include weather maps, weekly forecasts, historical data, weather warnings, satellite/radar images and a monthly outlook. The service draws its data from the UK Met Office's supercomputer and meteorological models as well as a network of weather stations.

An ad-supported version of BBC Weather is available globally for free on both web and mobile. The service is known for its simple interface and reliable forecasts, though it doesn't offer as many specialized features as some other weather providers.
