"The Met Office said the UK had one of the dullest Octobers on record and named its first time storm of the season. The forecaster said this then followed a typical autumnal month, culminating in above average temperatures, just below average rainfall, and well-below average sunshine. The UK saw its third dullest October on record, recording just 63.3 hours of sunshine across the month. Only 1960 and 1968 have seen less sunshine since this Met Office sunshine series began in 1910."
"Wales and Northern Ireland saw their second dullest October on record, with Northern Ireland particularly short on sunshine, provisionally seeing just 41% of its average October sunshine hours. October 2025 has been the dullest October in almost 60 years for the UK. A week of persistent 'anticyclonic gloom', combined with unsettled autumnal weather and a named storm, made it only the second month this year, after February, to see below-average sunshine for the UK. Temperatures were above average for October, although not record-breaking, and rainfall for the UK falls just below average, although with much regional variation."
