This is apparently a new version. I found an option to go back to the previous version which asked why I didn't like the new one.

Just reject cookies; it will still work but not remember your previous locations.

Just tried it now using Safari. I declined cookies and was able to enter

This is technically incorrect. You know what session cookies are?

You only have to turn on the first cookie - "Store and/or access
information on a device" - so presumably it's using a cookie to
remember that you want the old version, which is reasonable, though
there's no reason why it couldn't also have a link to the old version
without remembering that you want it.

That can't be true in general, since cookies are used to store your preferences about the display. If it were demanding that you accept advertising cookies it would be a different matter.

My problem with Safari on macOS26 - Version 26.0.1 (21622.1.22.11.15) is displaying weather warnings. Click on a particular warning on the UK map to get more details and a more or less blank window appears. No such problems with Firefox. It's probably nothing to do with cookies but I suspect their site is not totally Safari friendly. I've not checked for similar problams with Safari on iOS and iPadOS yet.

I tried with Arc and while it had a different "look" it behaved perfectly. Mind you, I don't fuss much over cookies. So it may have asked when I first opened the new site; I would have just clicked Accept All and forgotton.

I have noticed an increasing trend with some sites, particularly news, that require you to either get a subscription or accept all cookies.
Not sure whether that's illegal or not and possibly a wrinkle that's
allowed since brexit.

The ICO recently ruled that 'consent or pay' is legal: https://cy.ico.org.uk/for-organisations/uk-gdpr-guidance-and-resources/online-tracking/consent-or-pay/
So of course everyone's at it.

I've looked around at other weather forecasts and found that
netweather.tv has less eye candy and gives more comprehensive
information in fewer pages than the Met Office. If it proves to be reasonably accurate, I'll stick with netweather from now on.

I don't find the Apple Weather to be very accurate. I've been using Yr recently which been better. Looks good too.
I don't find any of these forecasting sites particularly good. There's
too much reliance on satellite data rather than ground observations
by humans and automatic sites especially when it comes to local area forecasts.

Yes I know and they can give accurate readings of air temperature, humidity/dew point , atmospheric pressure, rainfall, wind speed plus any other
data not needing human interaction. Automatically reporting visibility and cloud data must be more difficult though.

Visibility is fairly easy, IIRC it is done by measuring the drop in intensity of a light beam over a measured distance.
Full disclosure: my father was a meteorologist and his last job before
he retired was organising the setting up of automatic weather stations
round the world.

I wonder if it can distinguish smoke or other pollutants from water
droplets in mist/fog/rain etc.

However, overall, I do find the Apple Weather app isnrCOt too far off most of the time. Enough so that itrCOs my default data on my phone and watch. I tried some of the others, such as BBC and AccuWeather, but neither showed significant improvement. The BBC one is about the same, and AccuWeather is full of ads, unless you pay to subscribe.
The MetOffice app, to my surprise, and disappointment, is by far, and consistently, the least accurate.
One other IrCOve been trying is OpenWeather, which is fairly simplified, but isnrCOt bad for accuracy. ItrCOs open source and truly free as well.

Another one you could try is Yr.no.
As I-|m spending most of my holidays in Norway I use it quite often.
It does not only cover Norway though, so you can use it anywhere.
And it-|s free.
