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.

A ★ in the cell means there's extra information present -- hover over the cell to see it. For example, all midnight cells contain this symbol, and the pop-up shows the visibility. This is ground-level only, and doesn't mean clear skies! Other extra information may include significant -- over 10% probability -- rain/snow (as light/heavy probability, and total amount) and hail and lightning probability.
