The Met Office App Is Getting a Refresh

The Met Office is rolling out an upgraded version of its mobile app to make weather forecasts and alerts clearer, simpler, and easier to use. Since 2016, the existing app has kept millions informed and safe during changing weather conditions. However, as technology evolved, the old setup became a challenge for future improvements.

A Modern Redesign for Easier Use

Users requested a cleaner, more modern interface with faster access to essential weather data. In response, the team rebuilt the app from the ground up, introducing a modern framework that allows quicker updates and consistent design across both iOS and Android platforms.

“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.”

Built for Accessibility and Speed

The new app has been redesigned with accessibility in mind, ensuring users can quickly find what they need with fewer steps and a more intuitive interface.
