The opportunity to work with the Met Offices’ comprehensive weather data inspired us to produce an accessible and elegant application that we hope will be well received by existing and future app users.”

Charles Ewen, Head of Web and Media at the Met Office said: “We are delighted to announce the launch of the new Android app and updated iPhone app. Both are free to download and offer easy access to our forecasts 24 hours a day.
