Weather and climate news

September 2025 was a wet month for much of the UK, though not enough to trouble any longstanding records, according to provisional Met Office statistics.

A deep area of low-pressure has been named Storm Amy by the Met Office, the first named storm of the 2025/26 season.

A split in conditions between the northwest and southeast will subside later this week, introducing more widely wet and windy weather for the UK from late on Thursday and into the start of the weekend.

Climate change may lead to less frequent but bigger and more devastating hail storms, new research has shown.
