About
Proximity SunSeeker is a free browser-based tool that helps you find the closest sunny place in the UK and Ireland right now. Whether you are stuck under grey skies in London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, or Glasgow, simply share your location and the tool will check live weather across dozens of towns and cities — from Exeter and Brighton in the south to Inverness and Aberdeen in the north, and across to Dublin, Cork, Galway, and Belfast.
The tool covers all regions of Great Britain including England, Scotland, and Wales, as well as Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. It uses three independent weather model feeds — Open-Meteo best match, the UK Met Office deterministic model, and ECMWF — and only shows a place as sunny when the majority of those sources agree. This consensus approach means fewer false positives.
All location data stays on your device. No coordinates are sent to any server. Proximity SunSeeker is built for anyone who wants to make the most of a dry day in the UK or Ireland — whether that is a spontaneous day trip, a walk on the beach, or simply escaping the clouds for a few hours.
