The live forecast above shows conditions at Worlds End, but across the world a mix of active weather patterns is unfolding, with a deep low-pressure system tracking across the North Atlantic and a heatwave building over southern Europe.
What is driving the current global weather?
A strong jet stream is steering low-pressure systems across the Atlantic, bringing unsettled conditions to the UK and western Europe. Meanwhile, a blocking high over the Mediterranean is drawing hot air north from Africa, pushing temperatures into the high 30s Celsius in parts of Spain and Italy. The tropical Pacific remains in a neutral El Niño–Southern Oscillation state, though some models hint at a shift towards La Niña later in the year.
Where can I find a world weather map live and satellite imagery?
If you are looking for a world weather map live satellite view, the Met Office offers free, updated satellite loops covering the Atlantic, Europe and the wider globe. For a world weather forecast 14 days ahead, the BBC World Service and the ECMWF model both provide reliable extended outlooks.

How accurate are 14-day world weather forecasts?
Extended forecasts become less reliable beyond day 7 due to the chaotic nature of the atmosphere. Models like the ECMWF offer useful trends at 14 days, but day-to-day specifics should be treated with caution, especially for tropical cyclones and thunderstorms.
Where can I find a world weather map live online?
Several services provide real-time weather maps: Windy.com, the Met Office satellite viewer and the BBC Weather app. These show current precipitation, wind and cloud cover, and you can animate them to see how systems move over the next few hours.
What is the best source for BBC world weather forecast 14 days?
