Weather Visuals Interactive Preview
A complete suite of weather visualisations.
We are very excited to share with you this interactive preview of a new suite of weather visualizations that will be available in the next release of the Mountain Weather UK App.
Using the latest modern technology to bring you beautiful mountain weather visualizations, including wind, pressure, temperature, precipitation, freezing level, cloud cover, sun and UV, all rendered as interactive, hour-by-hour synoptic, regional and summit weather visualizations. This takes mountain weather forecasting to the next level.
This web version preview features some of the new visualizations that will be available in the next up and coming release of the Mountain Weather UK App.
These Synoptic Weather Visuals bring the forecast to life with interactive, real-time maps of the UK and Ireland. See wind flows animated across the landscape, precipitation types (rain, snow, sleet and thunder) plotted by location, temperature, atmospheric pressure gradients & animated isobars, freezing levels, cloud layers from valley fog to high cirrus, and sunshine duration with UV index - all beautifully presented.
Regional visualizations put the bigger picture in context. View regional weather visualizations for all 37 regions across the UK & Ireland so you can access the weather forecast by mountain region. In this preview we provide 3 regions and 5 mountain summits.
Summit specific three-dimensional isometric weather visualizations render the actual terrain around that summit, with the forecast wind data drawn directly on top of it. Plus a mountain elevation profile showing freezing level and cloud cover, and a unique 3D wind terrain view.
Click on any of the options above to view each visulization preview.

Important Information
This is a demonstration of what to expect in the MWUK V3 app.
This demonstration is fully functional. All the weather visuals you see being presented here will be present in the app.
The navigation to the various visualisations is different in the app to what you see here i.e. no chunky buttons as above.
The colours used in the app visualisations are slightly different to this demonstration as are some of the icons.
On the Location page, you will see links to 5 mountains; the UK and Irelands highest peaks. In the app we cover over 11500 hills and mountains that are over 305 metres (1000 feet).
For this demonstration we have also limited Regions to 3 and 5 mountain summits. The app covers 37 regions and over 11,500 summits.
About the weather data we use for this demonstration
The app uses live weather data, for all of the British Isles but for this demonstration we captured weather data for the entire British Isles on 27th January 2026; it was a very interesting weather day to say the least !
