You may find our free datapoint service to be suitable to your needs: http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/datapoint
DataPoint is a way of accessing freely available Met Office data feeds in a format that is suitable for application developers. It is aimed at professionals, the scientific community and student or amateur developers, in fact anyone looking to re-use Met Office data within their own innovative applications.
Access to data includes:
forecast and observation map layers such as radar and cloud cover for the UK;
forecast and observed site specific data such as temperature, wind speed and direction; and,
regularly updated text forecasts for mountain weather, national parks and UK regions.We have quite a lot of online support available for datapoint on the links below, which may provide you with some guidance if required.

RE: Help us to test new Weather Radar overlay
I really like it. Is there a way to have more of a view on historical radar data? Like 48 hours, 72 hours, etc? Great work - thank you!
