UV, pollen, road ready
Everything you need this summer

Beach

After a weekend of unsettled conditions, temperatures begin to rise again, with the spluttering summer finally coming to life. We have everything you need this season.

UV Index

On warm summer days, it's vital that you stay up-to-date on the UV Index forecast and take adequate precautions.

Pollen

Feeling sniffly? Hay fever season is in its grass peak right now, meaning it could be tough to get outdoors and enjoy the season. Weather & Radar has you covered.

Find detailed information on which pollen is flying today and in the coming days with the pollen feature accessible on the home page.

Not only can you see if pollen is in the air but specifically which forms. Right now we see grass pollen at high levels, with the peak of weed pollen season still to come later in the year.

Road trip?

With Weather & Radar now compatible with Android Auto, don't forget, we can be your weather companion on the road this summer.

The WeatherRadar will display the current satellite, precipitation type and intensity, while the RainfallRadar will only show you precipitation intensity, both of which are zoomable and will update automatically with your location.
