Met Office - The Public Weather Service's contribution to the UK economy, is a comprehensive report on just how much we benefit the UK as a whole.
We help save lives
We benefit the Government, in monetary terms, by much more than we cost
We provide more than £300 million of services to the public.
As the UK's national weather service we are responsible for providing weather and other related services in support of national need – to help protect life and property; safeguard the environment and contribute to national security and sustainable development.
Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, we are providing these services to the country. While doing so we are also supporting and providing benefit to numerous other areas of the public sector and the economy – but by just how much has never been quantified, until now.
