The Met Office app is getting a refresh

Why we're changing the app

Since 2016, the current Met Office app has kept millions of people safe and informed about the weather. But technology moves fast, and the old infrastructure has made it harder for us to keep improving the experience for everyone. 

You’ve told us you want a more modern and tidier design that helps you get key weather information quickly and easily. We’ve listened and built from the ground up. 

Our refreshed app uses a modern framework for faster updates and a unified design across iOS and Android. It’s simpler, more accessible, and inspired by your feedback.  

What are the features of the refreshed app?

With the new-look app you can:  

• Check the weather in your area for the next hour and up to 7 days ahead 

• Save your favourite locations for quick access and notifications  

• Get instant alerts for severe weather warnings like rain, wind, ice, and heat 

• See pollen levels and types during the UK pollen season  

• Explore interactive maps for cloud, rain, and temperature over the next 5 days 

• View detailed information, including feels-like temperature, wind, humidity, visibility, UV level 

• Share feedback to help us continually improve.  

Where can I get the refreshed app?

We’re making the refreshed Met Office App available to selected users for further testing from early November 2025. Then we’ll roll it out to everyone by mid-December 2025. 

If you already have the app, you will receive the update automatically. Otherwise, you’ll need to manually update the app to get the new version. 

If you don’t already have our app, the new version will be available to download from the app stores soon.   

But if you can’t wait, you can try-out the refreshed app beta (test) version on an iOS device or an Android device.  

How can I provide feedback? 

Once you’ve got the refreshed app, you can provide feedback directly from the app. Alternatively, you can contact the Met Office in various ways, including by the feedback form on on our website. Your feedback helps shape the future development of our app.  

What's coming next?

We’ll be introducing more features to the app over the coming months, based on your needs. These will include our latest video forecast, regional weather information, as well as mountain and beach forecasts. We’ll also add redesigned widgets, so you can see the forecast simply by looking at your phone’s homescreen. 

Please ensure your device automatically updates apps to receive the latest updates as soon as they are released.  

The current Met Office app

The Met Office Weather Forecast App is still available to download via the App Store (Apple) or the Google Play (Android). But it will be replaced by the refreshed app soon.
