Weather and climate news

November 2024 feels like a month of two halves. Mild, dry and gloomy at first, then storms, snow and heavy rain to close.

The start of this week will see a temporary return to colder conditions with the potential for wintry hazards in the north of the UK.

It is turning milder this weekend with most places seeing some rain at times, particularly in the west.

National Severe Weather Warnings are still in place across the UK as Storm Bert brings impacts across much of the UK.

A unique collaboration between the Met Office and The Wildlife Trusts has driven a series of projects examining the impacts of weather and climate change on wildlife and their habitats across the UK.

With the clocks going back this weekend, new Met Office research shows that almost half of people in the UK have been caught out unexpectedly by severe weather over the past year.
