About Do I Need A Brolly

We believe checking the weather should be simple. Instead of deciphering numbers and percentages, we give you plain English answers to the only question that matters: do I need a brolly?

What makes us different

Most weather sites show you data: "14°C, 60% precipitation, 15km/h winds". That's useful if you're a meteorologist, but most of us just want to know if we'll get wet on the school run.

We translate weather data into summaries you can actually use:

• "Dry until mid-afternoon, rain from 3pm"
• "A wet start, brightening up by lunchtime"
• "Saturday looks better than Sunday"
• "You'll need your brolly after 2pm"

Coverage

We cover every town, village, and locality in the UK - over 40,000 locations. Whether you're in central London or a tiny hamlet in the Scottish Highlands, we've got your forecast.
