Now integrates the Hill Bagging Database of British and Irish Hills (DoBIH) including over 11,500 peaks over 1000ft and 37 mountain regions throughout the UK and Ireland.
Mountain Weather UK (MWUK) is the Ultimate Mountain Weather Application dedicated to providing weather information for all UK and Irish mountain regions.
Whether you are Climbing, Walking, Skiing or Mountain Biking, MWUK makes it easy for you to access all this information at your fingertips. MWUK provides 5-day regional and mountain summit forecasts, weather station observations and synoptic forecast maps for all UK mountain areas, giving you the information you need to plan and assess mountain conditions before you head out.
5-day Regional and Mountain Summit Forecasts
MWUK provides 5-day forecasts for 37 mountain regions and over 11,500 hills and mountain summits at or above 1000 ft throughout the UK, Ireland and the Isle of Man. This update integrates the Hill Bagging Database of British and Irish Hills (DoBIH), expanding coverage from 600 to over 11,500 peaks.
Forecasts include daily summaries and detailed 3-hourly periods, with key mountain information: freezing level, high/low level temperatures, wind speed/direction, gusts, visibility, hill cloud, precipitation probability, UV, and mountain hazards. Forecasts are presented as clear daily cards including Headline, Morning and Afternoon weather, Weather Summary (now including mountain classifications), Meteorologist’s View, Hill Walker Advice, Pressure and Fronts, Temperature and Max Wind above 900m, and Visibility at 900m. Forecast screens now include weather backgrounds, load progressively for improved performance, and update to "tomorrow" from 6pm.
Mountain Summit Search
Every summit now includes official Hill Bagging classifications (Munro, Wainwright, Corbett, Hewitt, etc.). Our improved search includes classification filters and the ability to sort by height, classification, A-Z or Z-A. Summit icons are colour coded with a classification legend for easy identification. Smarter mountain search (e.g. "Beinn Eighe") now finds all associated tops and subsidiary summits.
Mountain Region and Summit Maps
Explore regions on an interactive map with polygon overlays. The Mountain Summit Map View now shows all hills as a clustered map view; pins cluster intelligently as you zoom to keep the map clean. Summits feature classification coloured markers and show their parent mountain name. Pro Subscribers now get OS Topo contour lines and features like those seen on OS Maps, helping you better analyse mountain terrain and routes.
Weather Station Observations & Forecast Maps
Analyse hourly observation data from mountain area weather stations with easy-to-read charts. Observation charts include temperature, wind speed, gusts, direction, visibility, humidity, pressure tendency and surface pressure. You can also view synoptic forecast maps for precipitation, cloud cover, temperature and pressure to assess weather systems moving through over the next 48 hours.
Favourites, Recents and Nearest Locations
Save your favourite Regions, Mountains and Weather Stations for one-tap access, and quickly return to places you have recently viewed using Recents. Automatically find the nearest forecast region and mountains based on your current location.

This is the one App I am using at the moment for planning my trips into the Scottish Highlands. The reason is that it is simply so much better than all the rest. It’s easy to use, the displays are uncluttered and give you all the information you want. The best feature is that it can give you all the relevant information for different altitudes in an instant. Very useful when you’re at the bottom of a 300m snow gully wondering what it’s going to be like at the top!
V2 great looking forward to V3

Sometimes you miss out on great improvements. The inclusion of over 11,000 odd hills with Met Office derived data with a high quality layout brings this V2 app into becoming an essential app for many more outdoor users. Perhaps the Met Office could take this idea on board and make it nationally available on their website. Looking forward to V3. Congrats on a first class product!
Good ad-free app for UK mountain weather
Trig point
Very useful app which now has the separate MWIS forecasts for all MWIS areas together with forecasting for additional mountain areas like the North Pennines and Northumberland etc. not included in MWIS or Met Office. V2 has much improved graphics and is easy to use and presents a lot of information very clearly. Recommended.
Developer Response
Hi, I have just released v2 of the Mountain Weather UK App. The Dales, Peak District MWIS links have been included in the app for quite some time now and are also available as mountain regions within the app which includes more regions that MWIS. I am also currently working on an update to include every single hill in the UK over 1000ft (I'm sure you mean feet here rather metres). This will be available very soon and will include over 11,000 hills and 20 new regions. Please could you take look at v2 and if possible update this review. Thank you.
Perfect app

Hi all. Very useful application for me. Im a hike and fly pilot, flying paragliders and speedwings. App helps me planning safe and successful hike and fly trips providing a lot of useful information. Last decision to fly or not to fly is entirely up to me but with a tool like mvis app a chance of disappointment with a weather conditions at the summit is reduced to the reasonable level. Thank you.
