Live in Weymouth

Everything happening right now, measured rather than guessed. Weymouth has had no Tourist Information Centre since 2021 and nothing replaced it. This is that job, rebuilt.

On the roads

Live speeds when we have them, the Waze map when you ask for it, and where the closures are listed

Checking the roads…

When the feed is running this shows how fast traffic is actually moving on the A354, Preston Beach Road and the town approaches. The map below works either way.

Loads a map from Waze, which may set its own cookies. Nothing loads until you tap.

Bathing water dropped from Excellent to Good in 2024 testing, which took the Blue Flag. Sixteen sewage overflow discharges were recorded at Chafey's Lake that year, up from twelve. We publish this because a beach award is not a small thing to get wrong.

Where all this comes from. Buses from the government's Bus Open Data Service every fifteen seconds. Trains from National Rail's Darwin, the same system as the screens on the platform. The sea level, river levels and flood warnings from the Environment Agency's gauges. Air quality, UV and sea temperature from Open-Meteo. Bathing water from the Environment Agency's own samples. Power cuts from SSEN. Weather warnings from the Met Office. Car park prices read off Dorset Council's own pages. Every panel here disappears rather than inventing something when its source goes quiet, and the full bus map has every stop in the area on it.
