About BBC Weather App
The BBC Weather app uses your device’s location to determine the most recent forecast information. Check other apps on your devices, such as iOS Maps or Google Maps, to see where your device believes you are if the location shown in the app is incorrect. The BBC’s weather division, known as BBC Weather, is in charge of creating and disseminating weather forecasts. After being compelled to put its weather services up for bid, BBC Weather moved its supplier from the government Met Office to Metagroup on February 6, 2018. For 94 years prior, the government’s Met Office served as a weather data source.

How does BBC know where I live?
You can view weather data depending on your present location using the BBC Weather app.
If you use this feature, your device will pinpoint your exact location and find the nearest place with a population where meteorological data is accessible. The BBC does not access or retain your precise location. You do not send the BBC any additional personal information about you.
Based on your favorite areas, BBC Weather may provide customized information. We’ll use the location you add—for example, your hometown—to provide you with the pertinent neighborhood information. Additionally, we’ll remember your preferences across devices if you sign up for the BBC. Your saved places are referred to as “My location.”
