BBC and Met Office to join forces to deliver ‘most-trusted’ weather service
Tim Davie, Director-General of the BBC, said: “Weather is the UK’s favourite conversation and hugely important to all our lives and all our audiences across the world.
“The BBC’s world-renowned journalism will be working together with the Met Office’s weather and climate intelligence to turn science into stories and help everyone in the UK to make informed decisions about the weather.
“There has never been more need for trusted and impartial information to help people understand today’s weather.”
Penny Endersby, CEO of the Met Office, said: “As the UK’s National Weather Service, we are excited to be back working closely with the BBC again.
“Together we can reach even more people with essential weather information, helping them to plan their days, stay safe when it matters and keep well-informed in our changing climate.”
How to find your local weather forecast
If you’re wondering what the weather forecast looks like for your local area, or where you might be heading to on a day trip or holiday, you can use both BBC weather and Met Office websites to find detailed weather predictions.
The partnership will demonstrate increased public value by serving more people across digital and broadcast platforms with more accurate forecast information, utilising the Met Office’s super computer for the most advanced weather information and the BBC’s reach and engagement with audiences.

The expansive and long-term partnership will be developed in phases over the coming months and years and will also focus on weather education, countering mis- and dis-information in the weather and climate space and creating communities where people share weather stories and information.
Further details of the partnership will be announced later this year.
During this time audiences will start to see some co-created weather content between the Met Office and the BBC.
