Forecast Britain — weather models as instruments
An interactive explorer for the UK Met Office’s UKV, Global, and wave models across Britain, Ireland, and the wider world.
Field notes
Forecast Britain presents several model families through both exploratory maps and fixed-frame chart viewers. Its UKV view covers Britain, Ireland, and the near continent at 2 km, while the Global view extends across the worldwide grid to T+168. The wave section reports significant wave height in metres, distinguishes swell from wind sea, and overlays direction. The page also describes polar-stereographic views designed for regions that Web Mercator cannot represent well.
