Your weather wishes in 2025.

[Summerlover2006]

there has already been a thread opened for people’s predictions for 2025 but what you think will happen and what you want to happen are completely different things so what are people hoping for the most in 2025? I’ll start.

interesting weather in March: March has become so boring lately it never snows anymore and feels like it never hits 20 just a month of 15C and dull weather it would be great to get a blizzard of a week of 25C or something just something of interest 

 

the June maximum broken: I feel like it’s time for June to break the record now especially after so many attempts like June 2017 and 2019 a nice 36C would be good.

a month with over 125% sunshine: have we done this since since like June 2023 it needs to happen again maybe in July to make it even better. 
 

an actual colder then average month: warmth is nice but we haven’t really had a proper colder then average Month since December 2022 yes we have had June and September 2024 but that was barely I am talking about like 0.5 and below.

what are everyone else’s?

I’d like a proper very cold spell in January like with widespread -20.C and heavy snow . Yes Scotland did have one in 2021 but I wouldn’t have said it was anything exceptional a minimum of -13.0.C isn’t anything too spectacular. A decent summer with a very warm, dry and sunny August (think 1995 style or even better). And finally a good warm spell in October. After the last couple of years it would be amazing to have some proper seasons again

id love a benign winter with little in the way of snow..a dry sunny spring with warm days and cool nights... sunny and +25c all summer with abundant storms and rain at night..a long drawn out autumn with above average temps.. and a record breaking warm December please.

I would simply like another year like 2003 but with colder weather for longer in January, a better May, a more settled July and not so chilly October.

For a sub-10C year.

For a genuinely cold winter first of all, not bottled up in one week or month but genuinely cold all the way through. Episodic is fine (though smashing 1683/1684 out the park would be fun), just a good snow event in all three winter months would be great. I’d especially like January to get its act together so we could have an extreme spell in the heart of winter without any set backs such as sun strength and a lack of a cold pool to tap into.

Spring I’m least concerned about though I don’t like springs that are too forward as you can easily lose the magic quite quickly. Especially in a warm winter like the one just gone. 

The summer I would like to be another cool one. No annual max higher than 33C. Spells of heat would come from genuine ridges, not heat spikes. Lots of thunderstorms. But generally cool. Summer 2024 would have been better if it had more convection and didn’t have the heat spike in August and had been rainier. 

Autumn can throw a real mixture in. I don’t mind.

January - I'd like snow. Thick and even and lasting at least a week

February - I don't care what the weather does, February is just the most miserable month

March - Cool, cloudy, sunshine, thunderstorms. I'd like this to be a mixed month

April - I'd like a dry month, not too hot. Some cloud allowed but must be some sunshine too

May - I don't mind a mixed month. Rain showers, sunshine, cloudy spells allowed as long as balanced with sunshine

June - Same as May but a bit warmer would be good

July - Some cloud and some sunshine. Would also like a really hot spell for about a week

August - I'd love some really warm days in the mid to high twenties. Cooler nights towards the end of the month

September - Some cloud, a bit of an Indian summer at the beginning. Would like some windy spells too

October - Cooler and crisper now we are into Autumn please

November - Yeah whatever. I'm not a fan of this month. Can do what it pleases

December - Some snowy spells that don't last. So I can get jobs done. Some frost would be good and hoar frost would be great

[Catherine91]

Every season sunnier and drier than average

A winter of snowy spells (not as much as Beast from the East etc.) interspersed with crisp sunshine. Fresh snow on Christmas Day and a cold sunny Boxing Day please!

A warm spring and summer but nothing above 30 degrees, more thunderstorms would be nice

An autumn that starts off warm and sunny, becoming cool and sunny

[Cleeve Hill]

Nice thread 

Some proper frontal snow followed by days of bright sunshine, no wind and cold nights.
Same again in Feb.

Some early spring sunshine. May is my favourite month so bright days and no wind.

Some proper thunderstorms in July & August.

Some warm days in October would be good before the wind and rain sets in. 
A cold frosty Christmas before Jan snow kicks in. 
I’m not asking for too much am I?

I wouldn't mind that, albeit without the extreme heat in August.  I would also like a snowy spell in February, rather than the cold anticyclonic spell we had in February 2003.

[RJBingham]

20c in January, would be a good start.

[LetItSnow]

 RJBingham You forgot to add a minus infront of that 20C! 

[Metwatch]

Anything drier and sunnier than the last 2 years, not that much to wish for!

[cheeky_monkey]

 LetItSnow -20c is t shirt weather here in January 

[Methuselah]

One or two very cold spells with lying snow will do me -- but only if enough mildness separates them to wash away all the grey-black frozen slush! 

 

 

[SunChaser]

A dry winter, some snow and frost would be nice too but most importantly sunny!! Seeing the sun in winter adds so much wonder to what can, in some years, be the most depressing time of the year by a mile.

Some kind of early spring warmth - hoping March isn't a complete deluge this time around, and 20c would be nice. Maybe some late cold for some interest but nothing too prolonged. And no SSWs please!!

I'd like early-mid April to be good too. Been waiting since 2020 for a nice birthday.

Prolonged high pressure with heat and sunshine sometime in the May to July period, when the sun's strength is at its peak nothing comes close to this feeling. 2022 and 2023 both delivered on this but at different times. Perhaps the May or June record finally going.

Finally to end, a dry and sunny October, a widespread snow event in November and a white Christmas.

 Summerlover2006 September 2024 with a CET of 14.0, was 0.4*C above the 1961-90 average, although 0.2*C below the 1991-2020 average.  July 2024 was similar; I think that was 0.2*C above the 1961-90 average but about 0.6*C below the 1991-2020 average.  It is factual to say that we have not had a proper below average 1961-90 month since December 2022, although this year I think June 2024 was 0.1*C below the 1961-90 average, and 0.6*C below the 1991-2020 average, so June 2024 was just marginally below the older averages but was insignificant.  So far this year the truth is that only June was very marginally below the older averages, but July and September finished in between the older and modern averages.  This year certainly had an exceptionally warm February to May period.

Don't have any as they won't come off lol! 

[B87]

A repeat of 2003 or 2022.

[raz.org.rain]

A nice long hot summer, something to blow 1976, 2003 and 2018 out of the water.

[Dancerwithwings]

Seeing snowfall under my starved snowless lamppost, would be a dream start

Sun every day thanks ...
