If you want detailed, community-driven weather models and discussion, Netweather provides specialist forecasts and charts that go beyond the standard TV broadcast — check the live radar above for real-time precipitation.

What makes Netweather different from the Met Office or BBC?

Netweather is a subscription-based service popular with weather enthusiasts, offering high-resolution model data, forum discussions and long-range charts that you won’t find on free public sites.

  • Access to netweather GFS and UKV netweather model outputs, updated multiple times daily.
  • Interactive netweather radar UK maps with lightning strikes and precipitation type overlays.
  • Detailed netweather charts for pressure, wind, temperature and snowfall probability.
  • The forum netweather community offers real-time analysis from experienced amateur meteorologists.
  • For mobile users, the netweather radar app and general netweather app provide push alerts and location-based data.

Can I use Netweather for a 14-day outlook?

Yes — the netweather forecast 14 days section uses ensemble data to give a trend-based view, though accuracy naturally drops beyond day 7.

  • Long-range charts help identify potential cold snaps, heatwaves or storm tracks.
  • Paid members get access to high-resolution 16-day EPS (Ensemble Prediction System) graphics.
  • For a simpler 10-day overview, see our 10 Day Weather Forecast UK page.

Is Netweather free to use?

Basic radar and some forecast charts are free. Full access to high-resolution models, ad-free browsing, and the forum requires a paid subscription (around £3–6 per month depending on the tier).

How accurate is Netweather’s 14-day forecast?

Like all long-range outlooks, it shows trends rather than exact conditions. For the first 5–7 days, the UKV model is highly reliable; beyond that, the GFS ensemble gives a useful probability-based view.

Does Netweather have a mobile app?

Yes — the netweather radar app and general netweather app are available for iOS and Android, offering push notifications for rain alerts, customisable overlays and live radar animations.
