Weather and climate data
Source accurate and reliable weather and climate data from our comprehensive portfolio.
World-leading science and technical expertise available for businesses, researchers and academics
Our extensive portfolio offers a range of global weather and climate data and services to clients across industry, academia and broadcast media. We also supply third party licensed data in the UK, on behalf of:
- European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF)
- European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT)

As the UK’s National Meteorological Service, we are well versed in collecting, generating, verifying, interpreting and applying data. Many organisations already rely on the data we provide for critical decision-making or commercial reuse.
Our data services include the provision of Public Sector Information (PSI) data, data available for re-use under license, open data sets available with free access and industry specific data for business use.
Climate Data Portal
The Met Office's publicly available Climate Data Portal provides a curated selection of climate data in ready to use formats. Built using ESRI's ArcGIS Hub, the Climate Data Portal is accessible to GIS and non-GIS users, making it easier for organisations to view climate data geospatially and also analyse climate change projections alongside their own data.
UK Met Office Public Sector Information (PSI) re-use data
View our catalogue for a complete listing of categories of data and available data sets, including our Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) model data and observational data sets.
Met Office Weather DataHub
This service offers access to Met Office data through a new ‘self-serve’ portal via API. Users have the ability to ‘subset’ data by geographical region, time step, model run and parameter for bespoke consumption. This API data channel will ultimately become the single point of access for all Met Office Public Task weather data, replacing both Met Office DataPoint and our Wholesale Data Services.
