Revolutionary Mavis Puts Aviation Safety In The Pilots Seat With Cutting-Edge Weather Forecasts
The UK’s Met Office has launched its latest innovation: the Met Office Aeronautical Visualisation Service (MAVIS), a cutting-edge platform that promises to revolutionize the way airlines, airports, and pilots access essential aviation weather data.
To address the evolving needs of this critical industry, MAVIS is designed to cater to the diverse needs of the aviation industry. The service provides high-quality, accurate weather forecasts and warnings for aviation purposes, including:
- Weather forecasting: Detailed forecasts of atmospheric conditions, including temperature, humidity, wind speed, and direction.
- Wind shear detection: Identification of areas where wind speeds and directions may change rapidly, posing a significant risk to aircraft safety.
- Thunderstorm detection: Accurate tracking of thunderstorms and their movement, enabling pilots to make informed decisions about flight planning and route changes.
The service is designed to be integrated with existing products, ensuring seamless transition for users. As of 24 March 2026, legacy Met Office aviation services will retire, making way for MAVIS.
Aviation Briefing Service (ABS), HeliBrief, Network Weather Resilience (NWR), and OpenRunway users must take advantage of this opportunity to upgrade to MAVIS, ensuring uninterrupted access to regulated aviation weather data. This transition is a testament to the Met Office’s commitment to innovation and its dedication to supporting the UK’s aviation sector.
