UK Weather Maps and Forecast is a free weather app by Leon Calcutt. The app is available on the iPhone platform and falls under the Lifestyle category with Weather as its subcategory. The app provides hourly local weather forecasts along with UK rain, cloud, and synoptic maps in a single view. The app is designed to be simple and easy to use, with one touch displaying the UK weather maps.

The app uses radar images provided by the UK government's Met Office, which is the most trusted source for weather information in the UK. The zoomable maps give a close-up view of Met Office rain, cloud, and synoptic readings in the user's local area. The app also allows users to search and bookmark their favorite locations across the UK for quick reference. The app's servers are located in London, ensuring lightning-fast loading times for the Met Office and UK weather.

The app requires access to the user's location, but this is strictly for determining the UK weather forecast in their area. The app does not save or use the location data for any other purpose. Some data on the app is sourced from the Met Office, and it is powered by Forecast.
