Met Office in the news

BBC weather contract

Posted on 23 August, 2015 by Met Office Press Office

You may have seen reports in the media today that the Met Office won’t be the BBCs main weather provider when the current contract ends.

Obviously everyone at the Met Office is disappointed that we won’t be supplying weather presenters and graphics to the BBC in the future.

As a trusted British institution we work at the heart of Government, with a wide range of customers, and with emergency responders to maintain resilience and public safety. We will be working with the BBC and others to ensure the nations official weather warnings are broadcast in a consistent way; and that our advice underpins forecasts when it matters most. We are also supporting our popular team of presenters to ensure clarity on their future.

Steve Noyes, our Operations and Customer Services Director, said: “Nobody knows Britain’s weather better and, during our long relationship with the BBC, we’ve revolutionised weather communication to make it an integral part of British daily life.

“This is disappointing news, but we will be working to make sure that vital Met Office advice continues to be a part of BBC output.

“Ranked No 1 in the world for forecast accuracy, people trust our forecasts and warnings. There are lots of ways to access these both now and in the future via the Met Office app, website, and video forecasts, as well as through television and other digital news providers.”

Much of our 93 years of working with the BBC has been based solely on radio and television forecasts. The world is changing though, and nowadays people access weather information in many ways.

As ever, everyone will be able to access trusted Met Office forecasts and warnings on our own digital channels like our app and mobile website, delivered as text, symbols and videos. You can embed that information easily in your own website too. We continue to provide our expert forecasts on independent television networks and there are also now many other news organisations increasingly sharing Met Office content online.

It's been cold here recently. I think we had our coldest July day for 30 years. We've 3 or 4 frosts this year too. We might get one a year usually.
Although having said that I'm pretty sure it was also the warmest July day. Hit about 25C I think on Thursday or Friday.

Roll on the summer. I love the heat.


* I've just been outside. I left some beer bottles I'd been given soaking in a weak bleach solution overnight. I can barely feel my hands having rinsed them out. 8C outside.

Sorry to hear it's a bit parky in your neck of the woods. It's not often that the UK is warmer than Aus though is it? Even now - height of summer - only parts of it are warmer.
