In Pictures: The changing seasons during 2025

As Christmas approached the second named storm of the season, Storm Bram, ensured 2025 ended as it began.

Storm Eowyn had caused widespread damage in January before daffodils and new-born lambs heralded the start of spring before summer and autumn brought Britons some seasonal cheer.

Press Association photographers were on hand to capture the changing colours of the UK as the year got into full swing.
