Met Office Weather DataHub

This application programming interface (API) data channel will ultimately become the single point of access for all Met Office Public Task weather data.

Met Office Weather DataHub service offers access to detailed and customisable weather data, and continues to evolve with new data and map overlays regularly being added. At present, available data includes: 

Atmospheric models

We offer GRIB2 data on a range of products that are sub-set by region, parameter, levels, time steps and model run.

  • Global deterministic (10km)
  • UK deterministic (2km) - standard
  • UK deterministic (2 km) - latitude-longitude
  • Met Office Global and Regional Ensemble Prediction System - Global
  • Met Office Global and Regional Ensemble Prediction System - UK

Site-specific data

The Met Office offers a range of products for users wanting to access and utilise site-specific forecasts.

Met Office Global Spot data

Our Global Spot product is recommended for users who want to access Site-Specific forecasts in a deterministic way, to understand the “most likely” scenario for a weather forecast. We offer GeoJSON data via three APIs for a single specified location defined by latitude and longitude.

  • Global hourly spot data 1.0.2
  • Global three hourly spot data 1.0.2
  • Global daily spot data 1.0.2

Met Office Site-specific Blended Probabilistic Forecast - BETA

We have developed a new blended probabilistic forecast system that takes outputs from our Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models. We recommend this product for users who want to access Site-Specific forecasts in a probabilistic way, with the flexibility to select what data they need for their specific use.

Map images

We offer PNG map images according to time step and model run for the following parameters:

  • Temperature at the surface
  • Precipitation rate
  • Total cloud cover
  • Pressure reduced to mean sea level
