Over the past year BBC company has been working to offer customers some more detailed Weather information including hourly forecasts for UK locations and three-hourly international forecasts. This has become quite popular with those who check the Bbc Weather website and those who contact BBC to say how pleased they are with this increase in data.

The representatives of BBC say they have noticed that more and more users visit their website with the help of Mobile devices. So it was decided to review how they can use this data to bring customers weather information whenever and wherever they need it.

The launch of the BBC Weather Mobile Applications for Android and iOS marks a great step in beginning to meet this demand. It is going to enable users to access clear, detailed and up to date forecasts just with a simple click.

The Android version is already available in Google Play store as well as an iPhone version is available in iTunes store.

To create the Application that would be really required and popular BBC held a survey where customers were asked about what they wanted from the mobile application. It became clear that one of the most important needs is to get quick forecast for the day. It is also important for users to be able to get forecast for the next few days to help in planning. So the application has five days of forecast information but this is going to be increased to match the website.

The introduction of these Mobile Applications is just the start of the improvements to BBC Weather on mobile devices. In the past few months the company invited hundreds of users to try out prototype versions and take part in testing sessions. So the application is expected to be one of the most popular with users not only in UK but throughout Europe.
