Explained in plain English

Who actually forecasts UK weather?

WXCharts uses GFS data, but the UK's official weather service is the Met Office. They use a supercomputer to run their own forecast model, called the Unified Model, as well as incorporating data from other global models, including GFS, to create their detailed UK forecasts. This helps them provide the public with the most accurate predictions.
