Comments on BBC Weather for Android

★★★★☆ A Google user · Feb 15, 2026

Better than the revamped Met Office app, but this could do with a user adjustable amount of transparency on the widget. Please fix "your local forecast is not available" when using a widget.

★★★★★ G T · Apr 25, 2026

More accurate than Met Office. And since the Met Office updated their app, BBC Weather is easier to use.

★★★★☆ Chris Matthews · May 21, 2026

I use this, Google Weather and the Met Office app, but sadly, none of these is 100% accurate

★★★★☆ Paul Tabern · Feb 13, 2026

Not bad. Could do with a rain radar view like the met Office.

★★★★☆ Michael Greatrex · Feb 16, 2026

Accurate except for the Trent Valley areas and villages either side of the A38 from Street hay to Burton on Trent where there seems to be a microclimate that is occasionally different from the surrounding areas

★★☆☆☆ Robert Harvey · Feb 17, 2026

Quite simple forecast. Useful for a quick look. Other weather apps have more details. Too much scrolling in the UI. Most annoyingly although this app echoes Met office weather warnings, they are text only, not on a map. All this said, I have now re-installed this as being better than the Feb'26 update of the Met Office app.

★☆☆☆☆ Tony · Jul 27, 2026

Woefully inaccurate app. One of the BBC promotional ads on the News channel says, "when the weather can't make up its mind, we can help you make up yours" but in reality you can't rely on it as a forecasting device, even in real time let alone in advance. Update 27/07/26 - Still this app is no better. Perhaps when the Met Office finally takes back the full forecasting role for the BBC, across all platforms, we might just see an improvement, let's hope so.

★☆☆☆☆ matzbr. Matthew Kayley · Feb 21, 2026

I used to swear by this app but it's so negative and inaccurate now. If you planned your day by BBC weather you'd never leave the house. It will often give the daily summary as heavy rain, yet the hourly break-down might only show heavy rain for one hour of the day, and that one hour rarely arrives. It constantly forecasts rain than never transpires aswell. It's a glass half empty app. Met Office is much more accurate and far less a doom merchant!

★☆☆☆☆ Craig Watson · Apr 20, 2026

Time to ditch this app twice now after updates now asking again to sign in rubbish ill stick with met office app that's where bbc gets info from. Anyway and much better
