BBC Weather Watchers is a community project where people across the UK share local weather photos and observations. The live forecast above shows today’s conditions; watchers’ reports often add detail that no radar can capture.
You can see what others have spotted through the bbc weather watchers website or by submitting your own snapshot via the bbc weather watchers app. The service is free and open to anyone with an interest in the sky above their street.
How does BBC Weather Watchers work?
You register a free account on the site, then simply upload a photo with a short description of the weather where you are. Your submission appears on the map alongside contributions from other watchers. The project helps forecasters check what really happened – a heavy shower, frost, or sunshine.
Can I submit a photo today?
Yes, the bbc weather watchers submit photo function is live every day. Open the app or the website, take a picture, and tag it with your location. Reports are visible immediately. Thousands of people share bbc weather watchers photos today – from city streets to coastal views.
How do I sign in to BBC Weather Watchers?
Visit the bbc weather watchers sign in page on the BBC website or use the app. You’ll need a BBC account – if you don’t have one, you can create it in a couple of minutes.
What photos can I upload?
Any weather-related image: rain, snow, fog, sunshine, frost, or clouds. Keep the shot clear and note the location. Avoid people’s faces or private property unless you have permission.
Are watchers’ reports used by forecasters?
Yes. BBC meteorologists check watcher data alongside satellite and radar information. It improves local forecasts and helps identify small-scale weather events that models might miss.
