Close to record-breaking - A wet autumn season in the books

Did you feel the rain in autumn? Provisional figures show that the UK recorded 20% rainfall than average this year.

This was led by the third-wettest autumn season in Northern Ireland and 10th-wettest in Wales since records began.

Making autumn the only season of 2025 to see above average rainfall.

Elsewhere, northern England saw a 45% increase on the long-term average.

Temperatures were also slightly warmer than average, but failed to match the record-breaking warmth seen in spring and summer.

Figures for Ireland are yet to be released, where monthly anomaly maps for September and November also show greater amounts than average.
