This April, the UK experienced a range of weather conditions and while no new records were set, we take a look at how this April compares to years gone by

As we head towards the end of the month, we can use Met Office data to compare how the weather experienced in April 2025 so far compares to years gone by, and which years hold the records for certain extremes. Temperature Extremes In April 2025 so far, the highest daily maximum temperature

.  Monitoring global mean surface temperature is useful because it is linked to many important climate impacts and it has a long and reliable historical record.  However, Earth’s surface temperature, even its global average, is strongly affected by internal climate variability, and is not necessarily

record from 2006. This attribution study is supplemented with a qualitative assessment of projected September mean temperature over the UK using the UK Climate Projections (UKCP; Murphy et al., 2018), which provides a guide to expected future changes in September UK temperature.

of Climate Variability and change over Africa by using Machine Learning as a tool for Data Rescue The observational record of weather and climate is severely limited – there are many times and places where we have few or no observations, and these limitations restrict both science and predictions

), setting a new UK and England temperature record by a margin of 1.6°C, and multiple stations across England also exceeded 40°C. This heatwave marked a milestone in UK climate history, with 40°C being recorded for the first time in the UK. The extent of the heatwave was remarkable with temperatures of 39°C

Key Aims  Dynamical drivers of regional seasonal to decadal climate variability.  Regional climate prediction using initialised climate models.  Evaluating the current risk of unprecedented extreme events.  Developing tools for dynamical diagnoses.  

Climate Science involves the development of observation-based climate datasets; the use of these datasets in climate change monitoring and attribution; and the use of Earth system models to make future long-term predictions.
