The UK weather map combines live radar, satellite imagery and forecast layers to show where rain, cloud and pressure systems are moving. Use the live radar above to track precipitation in real time.
What does the UK weather map show?
The map pulls data from Met Office observations and satellite feeds. Layers can be toggled to display rainfall intensity, wind speed, temperature and pressure isobars.
- Rainfall radar – colour-coded from light blue (drizzle) to red (heavy downpours). Updated every 5 minutes.
- Satellite imagery – infra-red and visible-light views of cloud cover, useful for spotting incoming weather systems.
- Wind arrows – direction and strength, with gusts shown for coastal areas.
- Temperature overlay – current and forecast values across the UK.
You can switch between these layers to get a full picture. For a longer outlook, visit the 10 day weather forecast UK or check the warmest place in UK today.
Can I see a 7‑ or 14‑day forecast on the map?
Yes – toggling the forecast slider lets you view predicted conditions up to 14 days ahead. This gives a quick visual for planning, though exact timing becomes less reliable after day 5.
- uk weather map 7 days – combines Met Office data with a day‑by‑day outlook.
- uk weather map 10 days – ideal for weekend planning; shows pressure patterns and likely rainfall.
- uk weather map 14 days – a broad trend view, useful for long‑range events.

Can I see a live satellite view of the UK?
Yes – toggle the satellite layer on the map. It shows infra-red and visible imagery updated every hour. This helps identify cloud bands moving in from the Atlantic, similar to a uk weather map live satellite view.
Is this the same as the Met Office map?
Our map uses Met Office radar data but presents it with additional overlay options. You can compare directly with the uk weather map 7 days Met Office outlook or the uk weather map 7 days met office forecast if you prefer their interface.
What do the colour codes mean on the rainfall radar?
Light blue or green indicates light rain; yellow is moderate; orange and red show heavy rain. Purple often signals hail or very intense downpours. Check the moderate rainfall warning for official alerts.
