There is no charge and no in-app purchases. If you prefer using a computer, the same forecasts are available through the BBC Weather website – there is no dedicated BBC weather app for PC, but the mobile site works well on desktop.
What features does the BBC Weather app offer?
The app delivers hourly and 10‑day forecasts, along with weather warnings from the Met Office. You can set multiple locations, view radar maps, and check sunrise and sunset times. Reviews often highlight its reliability and ease of use – the app updates automatically, so you rarely need to refresh manually. It is a solid option for anyone wanting a straightforward, no‑frills weather experience.
Is the BBC Weather app free to use?

How often is the BBC Weather app updated?
The app updates its forecasts every hour in the background, pulling fresh data from the Met Office. For severe weather warnings, updates appear as soon as they are issued. You can also pull down to refresh manually if you need the very latest numbers.
Can I use the BBC Weather app on my PC or tablet?
There is no dedicated BBC weather app for PC or iPad – but the BBC Weather website works perfectly on any device. iPad users can access the same forecasts through Safari or Chrome, and the site is fully responsive. For a native app experience, use the official iOS or Android version.
