Rain and drizzle slowly fade as they edge east overnight. ☔ Clearer skies following behind will bring a chilly night, with a touch of grass frost and patchy fog. Blustery showers continue across the far north and west, with the odd rumble of thunder possible. ⛈️

For the second time this season there are three hurricanes active simultaneously in the Pacific east of the Dateline - #Nolo #Odalys #Polo. High activity in this region is closely linked to the strong El Niño.

While the autumn equinox has now passed, today brings something a little different, the equilux. 🌖 That's when day and night are as close to equal length as they get, with sunrise and sunset around 12 hours apart.

One of the quirks of UK weather this week: temperatures are changing everywhere, but some places much more than others. From swings of up to 8°C in parts of England to only a few degrees in western areas, there's plenty of variety. 🌡️

Tropical Storm #Gonzalo has developed west of Africa and will impact the Cabo Verde Islands over the next day or so. Increasing wind shear and dry air characteristic of the tropical Atlantic this year mean it is not expected to become the first hurricane of the Atlantic season.

Global climate in 2025: How did the UK compare? 🌍 Record ocean heat, declining sea ice, droughts, extreme rainfall and the UK’s warmest year on record.
Met Office infographic titled “Global and UK warmest years”. A horizontal bar chart compares annual temperature rankings for 2014 to 2025. Orange bars show UK temperature ranking in a series dating back to 1884; yellow bars show global temperature ranking in a series dating back to 1850. Rank 1 represents the warmest year. The chart shows 2025 ranked 1st for the UK and 3rd globally; 2024 ranked 5th for the UK and 1st globally; 2023 ranked 3rd for the UK and 2nd globally; and 2022 ranked 2nd for the UK and 10th globally. Other years shown are 2021 (22nd UK, 11th global), 2020 (7th UK, 6th global), 2019 (17th UK, 7th global), 2018 (12th for both), 2017 (10th UK, 8th global), 2016 (21st UK, 5th global), 2015 (27th UK, 9th global), and 2014 (4th UK, 14th global). The graphic uses a blue gradient background with the Met Office logo at top left.
