When you are travelling to foreign shores you will just have to take a look at your passport to be reminded of home, as weather now forms part of the design of the new UK passport.

The new design, available from later this year, incorporates synoptic weather maps and weather symbols along with famous landmarks from across the British Isles.  These elements have all be identified as being particularly ‘British’.

The Met Office worked with the UK Passport and Border Agency in creating some of the weather maps used in the designs.
