of Scotland. It was very cold, with a very severe overnight frost. The temperature at Braemar, equalled the record, (also set in Braemar on 11 February 1895) for the lowest officially recorded temperature in Britain (-27.2 °C). Wales and much of England was dry and bright, though southern counties were

the period. There were major flooding problems, with the Environment Agency reporting at least 6000 properties flooded. The Somerset Levels were very badly affected, with large areas remaining under water from late December through the winter period, and severe flooding also affected much of the River

, with two periods of very rapid ice loss separated by a period of very slow ice loss. Predictions of September sea ice extent tended to be on the high side, although some came close to the eventual extent. Antarctic sea ice has likely recorded its seasonal maximum of 18.95 million square km on 27th

Northern Ireland has recorded its third wettest Autumn since the series began in 1836, and Wales its tenth. Autumn 2025 now stands as the only season of the year to report above average rainfall, with winter, spring and summer all below their respective long-term averages.   A very wet season

cold winters in 1881, 1895 and 1962-3 (when the upper Thames froze over) the Thames has not frozen over sufficiently to allow a Frost Fair since 1814. This is largely due to changes in the river and its built environment. The Thames of the past is very different from that of today. The wider

pulses of electro-magnetic waves, which travel at the speed of light (approx. 186,000 miles per second), are transmitted in a narrow beam for a very short time (typically two microseconds). When the beam hits a suitable target, some of the energy is reflected back to the radar, which ‘listens’ out

to ensure delivery of PWS remains on track and any issues around performance were identified and escalated. DP attended a very informative deep dive session on Science. 5. Independent Member Report DH updated the group on her activity over the last few months including chairing the MARG meeting

air persisted at times in the north, resulting in some snow at the frontal boundary. Storm Christoph brought very wet and windy weather between the 19th and 21st, with many stations having over 100 mm of rain. It was colder from the 22nd to 25th with snow in places, mainly in the west

decade (2009-2018), have been on average 5% wetter than 1981-2010 and 12% wetter than 1961-1990. Summers in the UK have also been wetter, by 11% and 13% respectively. However, very long-period natural variations are also seen in the longer observational record. These show periods in earlier parts
