Snowfall Hits UK as British Summer Time Ends

As of October 26th, 2025, the UK has experienced a significant drop in temperatures, with the weather dipping "below average" for this time of the year. This coincides with the end of British Summer Time (BST) and the return to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), as the clocks went back over the past weekend.

The Met Office had warned of a "cold and rather changeable few days to come", and their forecast for Sunday, October 27th, 2025, indicates that the day will start cool and dry, with patchy frost in some areas. However, cloud and rain are expected to spread from the northwest during the day, reaching the southeast by the early evening.

Notably, light snow showers were recorded in the Scottish Highlands overnight from Saturday to Sunday, October 26th-27th, 2025. The Met Office's Mountain Weather Information Service (MWIS) reports that a "snow and rain mix" is expected, with snow falling down to 500 to 700 metres, and air temperatures below freezing.
