Accurate local weather
YOUR LOCAL WEATHER SERVICE
WillyWeather organises the world's weather data into the most valuable local information. The app includes radar, satellite, detailed wind, rain, tide, swell and UV forecasts, as well as moon phases, and sunrise and sunset times.
Going beyond the average weather service, we process and fine-tune forecast data to the specific coordinates of thousands of locations including all villages, towns, cities, beaches, rivers, parks, lakes and islands.
WEATHER DATA
• WEATHER - Five day Met Office weather forecasts tailored to each location including min/max temperatures, and detailed weather descriptions.
• RADAR - Raw Met Office radar data, refined, processed and integrated with iOS maps.
• SATELLITE - National satellite view, displaying cloud cover for the entire UK, integrated with iOS maps.
• TIDES - The most comprehensive tide times system in the UK, bringing together standard port data from the UK Hydrographic Office (UKHO) with offsets generated for specific locations by WillyWeather. Includes every beach in the UK, and many river systems and inlets.
• WIND -The most accurate wind forecast model gathered from the UK Met Office, interpolated to the exact coordinates for each location and vetted against real-time wind observations to deliver the best performing information.
• UV - Hourly UV index forecasts, including alerts outlining extreme conditions when there is risk of harm from unprotected sun exposure.
• MOON PHASES - Full moon and new moon phases, illumination and rise and set times. Deeply integrated with tidal data.
• RAINFALL - Intuitive visual indication of rainfall probability for the week ahead.
• SWELL - Swell height, period and direction for each beach and surf spot in the UK.
• SUNRISE SUNSET - Sunrise and sunset times with first light and last light.
• REAL TIME observational data - with trends for all locations including current temperature, feels-like temperature, rain today, rain last hour, humidity, pressure, wind speed, wind direction, wind gusts and dew point.
• ENVIRONMENT AGENCY AND MET OFFICE WARNINGS - Easily accessible and specifically targeted to the locations affected.
FEATURES
• Interactive rainfall radar, using iOS maps: pan and zoom like you've always wanted through the UK radar network, to see exactly where rain is falling around you, or your favourite locations. Our mapping features provide more control, and more detail than any other UK weather resource.
• Stunning, interactive tide, swell, and wind forecast graphs which allow you to easily interpret the conditions at your favourite surf beach, secret fishing spot or upcoming hike - in real-time, and up to seven days in the future. We're particularly proud of our graphs, we pushed the boundaries to provide you with more context, and more detail for each weather type.
• A beautiful, simple and organised interface in which the weather data that is important to you is easy to find, consume and interact with. Our goal was to present accurate and relevant weather information to you, as quickly, and easily as possible.

more This is the best weather and tide app I’ve ever used. Comprehensive information including synoptic charts make it ideal for those, like me, who like to learn a little about meteorology. Local tide information is very accurate and allows me to accurately predict the tidal bore on our river. Happily paid £3.99 for ad-removal. One thing though - please don’t do a ‘Dark Sky’ and sell out…Edit 9/24: Very impressed with your speedy support regarding Apple Watch complication crashes. Awaiting bug fix.

Over the years I have used many weather apps. At present I have 10 (Yes 10!) apps on my phone and iPad to track the weather. I surf and paddle board and really need to know a lot of info before I venture out. I came across this app from a paddle boarder who has paddled over the world and round the country and provides Ted talks with a wealth of experience. She recommended this app as one of her essential items to have for her travels. She was right! This app is spot on. Other apps I have all miss something which caused me to toggle between them to paint a full Picture prior to my trips. This does that and it’s live as close as it can be. No 1-3 hours ago reporting this is as live as it can be. Wind, tide, swell radar, warnings etc etc all there! One “minor” point. I can’t get the widgets to display on my Apple Watch 7 yet even after following the instructions. I’m sure this will be resolved in a future update. The price is fab for the full version too. I have paid a lot for subscription versions which as I have said before don’t have all I need. Get it!!!

This is an excellent app for coastal weather, tide heights and weather warnings.The only minor two issues are, the daily weather and weather warning notifications and distance from weather stations. Firstly, it will only send you a notification once and then, you have to keep opening the app to disable and then re enable the notifications. Then again, it will only send you one notification before you have to reset it. Weather warnings I can understand but daily weather should be sent every day and not have to keep resetting the notifications.The other issue is the distance from where you are and the weather station that is supplying the data. The nearest station for my coastal data is 23miles away. How can the weather for my location be accurate if the station is 23miles away?Shame, because this is an excellent app otherwise.
Developer Response Hi, we'd like to help with the notification issue you mention, and can also provide more information in regard to weather stations. Can you please send us a message using Feedback and Support in the app settings so our support team can investigate?

This is the best weather app I have come across! The UI is simple and easy to use, but incredibly informative. They use Met Office data which is definitely more trustworthy than other data sources. Great customisation of notifications for alerts, weather updates and rain. Really impressed with it!One suggestion would be to add home screen widgets similar to what the Apple weather app offers. If we had that, I wouldn’t be able to fault the app!
