‘Innovating weather science’: Met Office launches new two-week forecast

The Met Office is to lean into one of Britain's favourite pastimes - talking about the weather - by launching a new two-week forecast.

At present, the publicly funded weather and climate service offers a seven-day forecast on its website and app with an hourly breakdown for the first five days and then a three-hourly breakdown for the final two days.
