Live forecasts update automatically; written guidance last reviewed 16 June 2026 by the ScopePress weather desk. Data from national met services via Open-Meteo.
Check the Met Office or BBC Weather for your area this morning: temperatures range from 7°C in northern Scotland to 14°C along the south coast, with patchy rain moving east across England by midday. The 14-day outlook stays unsettled, so plan outdoor activities around drier spells.
What does the BBC Weather forecast cover?
The BBC Weather service provides hourly, 3-hourly and 14-day forecasts for any UK postcode or city, plus a dedicated BBC Weather app for iOS and Android. It draws data from the Met Office, so you can rely on the same National Severe Weather Warnings, rain radar and video forecasts. For Scotland, look for the separate BBC Weather Scotland page; for Europe, use the international city search within the same interface.
How accurate is the BBC Weather 14-day forecast?
Accuracy drops after day 7. The first three days typically match observed conditions to within 1–2°C for temperature and 70–80% for precipitation timing. From days 8–14, the model shifts to broad trends – useful for seeing whether a dry or wet pattern is likely, but not for planning precise outdoor work. Use the BBC Weather long-range outlook and the hourly breakdown for tomorrow’s detail.
Is the BBC Weather app free?
Yes, the BBC Weather app is free on iOS and Android. It includes push alerts for severe weather, a 14-day forecast, rain radar and the option to save multiple locations – handy for commuting or travel near Manchester.
Does BBC Weather show live radar?
Yes, the BBC Weather radar map shows precipitation intensity across the UK updated every 15–30 minutes. You can animate the previous six hours to see how rainbands are moving – useful for a quick check before heading out.
Can I trust the BBC Weather 10-day forecast?
Day 1–5 are reliable for general trends; by day 10 the model uncertainty increases. For critical decisions (events, travel), cross-check with the Met Office warnings page and the hourly breakdown on BBC Weather tomorrow.
