The inshore coastal areas of the United Kingdom are fifteen fixed stretches of coastline that are used in weather forecasting especially for wind-powered or small coastal craft. Each area is delimited by geographical features such as headlands, seaports or estuaries. When used as part of a broadcast weather forecast they are mentioned in the same order, clockwise round the mainland starting and finishing in the north west of the island of Great Britain. Forecasts are also given for the Isle of Man and Shetland Isles that are not part of either Great Britain's or Ireland's coastlines.
