The UK had its warmest May and spring on record, despite the wet, dull conditions for many parts of the country, provisional Met Office figures show.

And, alongside other records broken, it was also the wettest UK spring since 1986 and the sixth wettest on record. An average 301.7mm of rain fell on the country across March, April and May, nearly a third more than usual for the season.A Met Office spokesperson said: “Higher than average temperatures in March and May, either side of a slightly warmer than average April, means that spring 2024 is the warmest on record according to mean temperature.
