The UK weather in February was warm, wet and dark for this time of year. We also had the 2nd lowest range of temperatures on record with maximum and minimums across the 24 hours varying by only 4.5 degrees on average.
UK Weather Tracker #108 – January 2026
The 2026 calendar year in the UK began with a wetter January than usual but otherwise the weather in this month was unremarkable.
UK Weather Trends #39 – Annual Temperatures in 2025
The year 2025 was both the hottest and 2nd hottest year on record in the UK. Last year, I used a CUSUM Chart to conclude “if the calendar year average is greater than 9.48 degrees Celsius and the meteorological year average is greater than 9.33 degrees Celsius … (this will) signal an upwards trend change“. By co-incidence, the average 24-hour temperature across the UK in 2025 was 10.09 degrees Celsius for both the calendar (Jan to Dec) and the meteorological (Dec to Nov) years which is clearly higher than these thresholds. It’s only taken me four years of writing to conclude a new upward trend in UK temperatures has begun.

UK Weather Tracker #107 – December 2025

UK Weather Trends #38 – Autumn 2025
The UK autumn in 2025 was warmer and wetter than usual but not exceptionally so and continues to be consistent with the step change in our autumnal climate seen 25 years ago.
UK Weather Tracker #106 – November 2025
The weather in the UK in November was warmer and wetter than usual but not to an unusual extent.
UK Weather Tracker #105 – October 2025
Like last month, the weather in the UK in October was unremarkable. I must confess I found myself noticing the cold more than usual but perhaps I was subconsciously noticing the lack of sunshine and the narrow range of temperatures as shown in my refreshed dashboard below?
UK Weather Tracker #104 – September 2025
After the hottest summer on record, the weather in the UK in September was unremarkable. However, my local fishing club has just announced that a lake closed due to low water levels has reopened since water levels are back to normal so the above average rainfall in September has been welcomed in many areas.
UK Weather Trends #37 – Summer 2025
The 2025 meteorological summer in the UK was the warmest on record. This came less from heatwaves setting new temperate peaks and more from steady warmth throughout June, July & August. Overall it was sunnier and drier than usual in the UK but not to any significant degree. As a result, whilst the 1st principal component confirms the summer can be regarded as a “good summer”, it was a long way from being an exceptional summer like 1976 & 1995.
UK Weather Tracker #103 – August 2025
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.
