What this site is for
WeatherMeteo started in 2019 because both of us noticed the same gap. Weather apps tell you what the weather will do. Wikipedia tells you the rough definition of meteorological terms. Neither of those things tells you why a cumulonimbus stops growing when it reaches a certain altitude, or why fog forms over a valley but not the hillside directly above it.
That gap — between forecast and explanation — is where we operate. We are not trying to replace the Met Office. We are trying to answer the questions that weather apps make you think but do not bother to answer.
The articles on this site take single phenomena and explain the physical mechanisms behind them. We do not cover forecast methodology or climatology at scale. We cover the specific, observable things that people in Britain encounter on an ordinary week and wonder about.
Our editorial standards
We do not publish claims we cannot trace to established atmospheric physics. When something is genuinely contested in the literature, we say so. When a simple explanation would require omitting something important, we include the important thing instead of the simple explanation.
We do not monetise through advertising. We have no commercial relationship with any meteorological equipment, forecasting service or data provider. If that changes, we will say so explicitly on this page.
Articles are written by the two editors listed below. We do not accept contributed articles from external authors, sponsored content or paid placements.
Location
WeatherMeteo Ltd is registered in England and Wales. We are based in Bristol — specifically in St Philip's, which has a small maritime microclimate that makes it slightly wetter than the centre and noticeably windier than the suburbs. That is not a complaint. It gives us a reasonable amount of subject matter.
