weather it

A UK climate adaptation kit

The climate is changing.
It's time to change with it.

Cutting emissions matters — but it slows what's coming. Adaptation is how we cope with what's already here: heat, floods, storms and drought. Weather It turns the UK's climate data into practical steps for real people — wherever you live, whatever home you're in, and whoever you look after.

Free, and no account needed. We only use the area part of your postcode, and store nothing.

Two jobs at once

We have to cut emissions and live with the climate we've already changed.

Both are about people. Cutting emissions — mitigation — protects everyone, now and in the future, from far worse to come; it's essential, and Weather It is built to honour it. But it works over decades. The heavy lifting belongs to governments and business — and those most exposed are often least able to prepare — so none of this is on you alone.

How it works

Three steps, about five minutes.

1 · Locate

Find your local risks

Your postcode maps to the risks that matter where you live — flooding, heat, storms, drought, coastal change. Risk in Hull isn't risk in Hampstead.

2 · Tell us about your life

Six quick questions

A renter in a top-floor flat and a family in a house need different things — and so does anyone caring for children, older relatives or someone unwell. We ask, then tailor.

3 · Get your kit

A ranked, costed plan

Every step is tagged as a free habit, a one-off job, or an investment — with a clear cost. Start with what's free; build up from there.

Why now

This isn't a distant problem. The numbers have already moved.

A snapshot of the UK climate today, from the Met Office and Environment Agency.

40.3°C
The UK's first-ever 40°C reading, at Coningsby in 2022 — a heatwave made at least 10× more likely by climate change.
Met Office
4.6m
Properties in England now at risk of surface-water flooding — up 43% on previous estimates.
Environment Agency, 2024
+17cm
Rise in average UK sea level since 1900 — with up to 1.15m more around London possible by 2100.
Met Office / UKCP18
More likely that 2022's very-high wildfire danger happened, because of human-caused warming.
Met Office / UKCEH

Broad by design

Adapting is more than sandbags.

Getting ready spans your health and routines, the people you care for, your home, your garden, your money and your street. Weather It covers all of it — and is honest about which steps cost nothing and which take real investment. Plenty pay you back anyway: lower bills, a home that's warmer or cooler, better health.

A few examples of what your kit might include:

Free habits
Closing blinds before a heatwave · water & shade breaks for children · signing up for flood warnings · checking on older neighbours.
One-off jobs
Fitting a water butt · clearing gutters · a power-cut kit · draught-proofing · keeping flood barriers ready.
Investments
Flood doors and resilient floors · insulation that keeps heat out and in · external shading · roof reinforcement.

Built the way we're asking you to think

A low-carbon website, on purpose.

It would be odd to talk about climate on a bloated, energy-hungry site. So Weather It is built lean: no tracking, no advertising, no video, no stock photography, no heavy frameworks. Just text, a pair of friendly typefaces, one shared stylesheet, and charts drawn as lightweight vector graphics. Each page weighs a tiny fraction of a typical web page — less data, less energy, lower carbon, and a site that loads instantly even on a poor rural connection.

An estimated ~0.01g CO₂ per visit — an A+ on the Website Carbon scale, against a 0.36g global average.

Find out what you can do.

Start with your postcode. About five minutes, and you'll leave with a plan you can actually use.
