Mountain Weather UK v2.1.0 is now available on the App Store and Google Play. This is the biggest update since v2 launched, integrating the Database of British and Irish Hills (DoBIH) to massively expand coverage and add hill-bagging features throughout the app.
11,500+ hills and mountains across 37 regions
Coverage has grown from around 600 summits to over 11,500 hills and mountains at or above 1,000ft. 37 mountain and upland regions now span the United Kingdom, Isle of Man and the Republic of Ireland.
New regions include the Southern Pennines, Forest of Bowland, Welsh Borders and Western England, the Isle of Man, Orkney and Shetland Islands, Outer Hebrides, and every mountain and upland region in Ireland — including the Wicklow Mountains, MacGillycuddy's Reeks, Twelve Bens, Mourne Mountains and more. Every existing region has also been expanded to include all hills at or above 1,000ft.
Hill-bagging classifications
Every summit now carries its hill-bagging classification — Munro, Wainwright, Corbett, Hewitt, Nuttall, Marilyn and more — drawn directly from the DoBIH database. Classifications appear on each summit's forecast page, are colour-coded in map and list views, and can be filtered in search.
Redesigned summit map
The Mountain Summit Map has been completely redesigned for v2.1.0:
- Clustered pins — summits cluster intelligently as you zoom out, keeping the map clean at any zoom level
- Classification colours — each pin is colour-coded by its primary classification so you can see at a glance what type of hill it is
- Parent mountain names — subsidiary tops show their parent mountain name (e.g. "Beinn Eighe", "Liathach") so you can immediately identify related summits
- OS Topo maps (Pro) — Pro subscribers now get Ordnance Survey Topo contour lines and map features for Great Britain, helping you analyse terrain and routes. Thunderforest Landscape tiles cover Ireland and the Isle of Man.
Smarter summit search
Searching by a parent mountain name (e.g. "Beinn Eighe" or "Liathach") now returns all associated tops and subsidiary summits. The summit list also supports:
- Filter by classification (Munro, Wainwright, Corbett, Hewitt etc.)
- Sort by height (ascending or descending)
- Sort by classification, A–Z or Z–A
- Colour-coded classification legend
Progressive forecast loading
Forecasts now load in two stages — the core forecast data (temperatures, wind, weather type) arrives first, followed by the AI-generated text summaries. This means you see useful data faster, with summaries appearing shortly after without blocking the initial load.
Mountain classification on forecast pages
Each mountain forecast page now shows the summit's classification (Munro, Wainwright, Corbett etc.) in the header, so you always know at a glance what kind of hill you're looking at.
Mountain and hill data is provided by the Database of British and Irish Hills (DoBIH).
