UK Watch

Britain's early-warning board on your toolbar: power, cyber, weather, travel, conflict, government and payments, in plain words.

UK Watch reads the official sources that say what is happening in Britain right now and puts the answer on your toolbar in plain words. Seven lanes, each with a state and a one-line headline a neighbour would understand: - Power grid: notices from the grid operator, spare generation, grid frequency - Cyber: new warnings about flaws in home devices - Weather and flooding: Met Office and flood warnings in force - Travel: rail disruption and road closures - Conflict and war: fighting in the news that touches the UK or Europe - UK government: notices asking households to prepare for anything - Services and payments: banks, card payments and the big online services The toolbar button shows the country's worst state at a glance: green calm, amber watch, orange elevated, red severe. When the board cannot be read it says so in grey. It never shows calm just because it has nothing to say. Click the button for the full board. Click a lane to read what it means for your household and your shop, with the evidence and the official links, on ukwatcher.com. Turn on desktop alerts and the extension tells you when a lane changes state, in one sentence, within five minutes. Choose which lanes you want to hear about. Official sources, read every half hour. No account needed. No tracking.
