Notes
This forecast originally used publicly available information from the Met Office's DataPoint service. This is being discontinued in late 2025 (and was increasing unreliable running up to that date), and is replaced by the DataHub service. Which is being used for the above forecast.DataHub is more complex to process, but provides more information and better global coverage. Each table cell above contains, in order:
- The predicted temperature, in degrees Celsius. DataHub provides a maximum and a minimum, and I've averaged these and given the possible variation (the ± figure).
Maxima over 25°C and 30°C are highlighted thusly.
Similarly, minima below 5°C and 0°C are highlighted. - The next line contains the probablity of any precipitation (rain, mostly), followed by...
- ...the wind direction.
- The final text line gives the predicted average wind, followed by the maximum gust. DataHub uses m/sec, but I've converted these to mph.
Calm weather (≤5mph wind), strong gusts (≥25mph) and storm-force gusts (≥40mph) are highlighted. - Finally, there's an icon representing the prevailing weather type.
