Website update and reminder to collect your monthly data. 

As we mentioned in our December update, the Met Office will be retiring the Weather Observations Website (WOW) later this year. As we move towards this retirement, please be assured that your contributions will continue to benefit the Met Office right up until the site is decommissioned. In the meantime, we are focusing our efforts on maintaining the security and stability of the platform, ensuring it remains a safe and reliable resource for all users during this transition period.  

As this month ends, we would like to take this opportunity to remind you to download any monthly data you may wish to retain. You can export up to 31 days of data via the website by following these instructions: 

  • Choose your site 

  • Select ‘View Full Observation’ at the bottom of the right hand panel 

  • Select table and enter the dates 

  • Press ‘Export’ 

Next month, as part of our normal tender and renewal process, we will be updating the mapping provider that underpins some of the maps on the WOW website. While we expect this transition to be largely seamless, you may notice some small visual or functional changes. If you do encounter any technical issues, please provide us with any feedback so we can investigate these promptly. 

Thank you for being part of the WOW community and for your ongoing support
