It seems like : To be more sad than usually (lit. custom). But did try in anyway using the dictionary? It would be fun if you would try it first on your own. Good luck with your spanish.

Yes, to be sadder than usual. - annierats, Jan 8, 2012

Maybe it is better to use the word "sadder" but I wanted to answer as basic as I could and sadder does not have the construction "more than" /"más.... que" while more sad does have this construction. Maybe it is better to use sadder but I thought it to be less understandable. That's why...

mas - more

que de then (de comparison rule)
costumbre - usual ( customary)

In English, usual would be used in this context. I don't think it sounds good "to be sadder than customary" - Eddy, Jan 8, 2012
true, but it depends on the context and region - Tasear, Jan 8, 2012
Toreliesa, even in Tiverton few people are sad by custom, or customarily so. - annierats, Jan 8, 2012
