Whilst it may not come as much of a surprise, given the relentless sunshine, the Met Office has confirmed that this spring has been both the warmest and sunniest on record. Each of the spring months – March, April and May – have topped the tables for sunshine, with each month respectively the first, first and second sunniest on record. Spring had 653.3 hours of sunshine, which is 43% above average. An abundance of sunshine has also brought record-breaking warmth.

For many of us, the first half of January has been characterised by predominantly cold weather, with some places seeing snow. Altnaharra in the Scottish Highlands saw the temperature drop to -18.9C, making it the UK’s coldest January night since 2010. Daytime temperatures have widely struggled to get much above freezing, and the cold feel has often been exacerbated by cloudy skies – depriving us of the ever so slightly moderating effect of the weak January sunshine.
