General information, not an official warning service
Dorset Live Weather provides local observations, forecasts, webcams, automated summaries and activity guidance for general information. Measurements can be delayed, unavailable, incorrect or unrepresentative of conditions elsewhere. Forecasts and automated guidance contain uncertainty.
Do not use the service as the sole basis for decisions involving life, navigation, aviation, emergency response, water safety or property. Check official warnings, tide and sea information, local authorities, lifeguards and other appropriate sources. Users remain responsible for their own decisions, equipment, ability and safety.
Availability and liability
The app and website are provided on an “as available” basis without a guarantee of accuracy, completeness, fitness for a particular purpose or uninterrupted availability. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded. Subject to that restriction, Dorset Live Weather is not responsible for losses arising from reliance on delayed, unavailable or inaccurate information.
Copyright, database rights and permitted use
© 2012–2026 Dorset Live Weather. Copyright may protect the software, branding, text, graphics, webcam imagery and original presentation or selection of content. The organised station archive may also qualify for UK database-right protection where the legal requirements are met.
Users may view and share the app's built-in branded share cards for personal, editorial and social-media purposes. No permission is granted for automated scraping, bulk extraction, removal of attribution, creation of a competing data feed, resale, or commercial republication of Dorset Live Weather content or a substantial part of its database. Written permission can be requested at j@cquessteventon.com.
Individual weather facts may not themselves be protected in the same way as original content or a database. These terms do not claim ownership of third-party information or rights that the law does not provide.
Third-party data
Forecast, pollen and marine model information is supplied using Open-Meteo and remains subject to the applicable source licences and terms. Open-Meteo API data is attributed under CC BY 4.0. Third-party names and data do not imply endorsement of Dorset Live Weather.
Acceptable use and changes
Users must not interfere with the service, bypass technical controls, overload endpoints, distribute malware or use the service unlawfully. Access may be restricted where necessary to protect the service or enforce these terms.
Features, data sources and these terms may change. Updated terms will be posted here. These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, subject to any mandatory consumer rights.
