About us

About us

WestWeather was incorporated in 2006. Its initial purpose was to share weather & forecast information online to the local community. Our first weather station was connected to the internet and fed the Weather Underground network, records and climate data started to be captured in September 2006. Today it is the leading source of weather & climate information in the South West of England. We produce weather model charts for the UK, we present on local radio, we host a number of stations across the southwest and we appear on local media.


We are privately funded, owned and operated, and do our best to remain self sufficent..
