I tried to get hold of the source code and was blocked, but if you
appealed using the Freedom of Information Act you might be more
successful! In fact the PUM is available from the Met Office if you
can give a good academic reason.

but you need good visualisation software for clouds, which I think was
specially developed by Climate Prediction.
The source code for the Community Climate Model is also available.

There is also a simpler model here:
