03 / Compare the best hours
See sunny and warm periods side by side. Forecasts use UK local time, between 9am and 6pm.
04 / Make a day of it
Look up named local attractions, cafés, pubs and restaurants. Verify opening times with the venue.
05 / Save your favourites
Keep a shortlist on this device, share a destination, and open directions before setting off.

We are developing ways for local attractions, cafés, pubs and tourism businesses to reach visitors planning a day in their area.

Visitors can already discover named places through OpenStreetMap listings. Paid listings and partner applications are not open yet.
Clear, independent rankings
Future sponsored placements will be clearly marked and kept separate from weather rankings. There are no bookable partner offers on this preview.
PREVIEW PRIVACY INFORMATION
Your postcode. Your shortlist.
This private preview sends a postcode to Postcodes.io when you request a live search. Destination coordinates are sent to Open-Meteo for weather, and to OpenStreetMap Overpass when you request places. Those services receive normal network information such as your IP address. Sample mode does not send your postcode to these providers.
Saved destinations stay in your browser’s local storage. Remove them on the Saved page, or clear browser site data. This preview has no analytics, advertising cookies, accounts, email signup or payment processing. External map links open Google Maps under its own privacy terms.
This preview information is not a reviewed commercial privacy policy. Provider licensing and a full policy are required before public commercial operation.
ABOUT GIVE ME SUNSHINE
Find better weather. Discover somewhere brilliant.
What this does
We compare forecasts around your UK postcode and recommend destinations based on your chosen weather goal. Then we help you explore local attractions and places to eat and drink.
How to read the forecasts
Sunshine is a forecast, not a promise. Hourly sunshine duration is aggregated into approximate time windows. Maximum temperature can happen outside your preferred visit hours; we prioritise 9am–6pm for day trips.
Prototype limitations
This is a working demonstration that uses public third-party endpoints for personal testing. It samples a curated list of towns, uses straight-line radius and may not cover a sunny village between towns. Public APIs may rate-limit or fail.
Production requirements
Commercial weather licensing, a server-side API, road route calculations, appropriately licensed places data, proper caching, privacy/legal documents and quality assurance must be completed before public launch.
