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

Weather observations Records of the global climate are essential for monitoring climate change, but maintaining them requires effective weather observations to be taken all over the world. These observations are also essential for both local and global weather forecasting. While most WMO member

Several long-running stations in eastern England recorded their wettest January day on record on the 5th. The very wet weather was accompanied by some strong winds, coinciding
