UK Weather Tracker #103 – August 2025

September 7, 2025 By Nigel Marriott

It was the 8th warmest August on record in the UK.  When combined with the 5th warmest July and the 2nd warmest June, the result was the warmest summer on record.  Otherwise, the weather on average in the UK continues to be unremarkable in terms of rainfall and sunshine but that disguises some significant regional variations.

UK Weather Tracker #100 – May 2025

June 6, 2025 By Nigel Marriott

The 2nd sunniest May on record in the UK follows the sunniest ever April & the 3rd sunniest March and resulted in the sunniest spring on record.  I am not surprised that in many regions it was also the warmest spring on record.

UK Weather Tracker #99 – April 2025

May 5, 2025 By Nigel Marriott

April 2025 was the sunniest April on record in the UK.  It beat the previous record set in 2021 which in turn beat the record set in 2020 during COVID19 lockdown.  There may be a theme but equally I’m not going to bet on all April’s being sunny.  Given March was also the 3rd sunniest on record, there’s a good chance this Spring will beat the extraordinarily sunny Spring of 2020.

UK Weather Tracker #98 – March 2025

April 6, 2025 By Nigel Marriott

Finally we have more interesting weather in the UK in 2025!  March was warmer, drier and sunnier than usual but it was still cool at night which meant frost levels were normal.  Altogether, the month was fractionally below my definition of an unusual month.

December 8, 2024 By Nigel Marriott

Judd Trump has won the 2024 UK Championship which is the 5th Triple Crown title of his career.  Does that make him a GOAT (Greatest Of All Time) in men’s Snooker?  Using the criteria I recommend in this article, Trump will become a GOAT if he wins another World Championship.
