to breaking spring records? Author: Press Office 14 May 2025 As we move through May, Spring 2025 is shaping up to be a contender for the record books, particularly when it comes to temperature, rainfall, and sunshine. With data up to May 13, the UK is experiencing a season marked by warmth, dryness

accurate temperature forecasts, more accurate predictions of rain, hail and snow, and more accurate weather symbols.   “It’s taken big scientific investment to get to this stage, so it’s an important milestone for the Met Office, and there are more exciting developments to come. We’re now looking

of events, though unusual, has earlier precedents in the historical climate record, for example in 1999, 2000 and 2001 but this has now come to an end. Instead, our latest long-range forecasts suggest that the tropical Pacific is about to transition into El Niño – the warm phase of ENSO. The figure shows

weather, with high pressure dominating our weather for the last few months. Occasionally, the high pressure has drifted towards Europe, allowing some weather systems to come through, but it has quickly rebuilt, maintaining the dry and settled conditions.
