UK Weather Trends #7 – Autumn 2018
Meteorologists define autumn in the UK to be the period from September to November so autumn is now over and we are officially in winter. The 2018 autumn was consistent with the step change in the autumnal climate that took place in the 1990s.

Meteorologists define summer in the UK to be the period from June to August so summer is now over and we are officially in autumn. The 2018 summer was the joint hottest on record and in doing so blew apart my prediction that we would have to wait till next year for our next good summer!

UK Weather Trends #2 – Summer 2017
Meteorologists define summer in the UK to be the period from June to August so summer is now over and we are officially in autumn. I have decided to create a series of posts which I will publish at the end of each season showing how that season compares to the weather record. The 2017 summer was wet but unremarkable otherwise and actually quite typical of recent summers as I will explain.
UK Weather Trends #1 – Spring 2017
Meteorologists define spring in the UK to be the period from March to May so spring is now over and we are officially in summer.
