Recent analyses reveal significant warming across all UK seasons, with spring experiencing the most pronounced rise. Data from Climate Central shows that the average spring temperature has increased by 1.8°C, making it the fastest-warming season nationwide. England has seen the largest increase at 2°C, followed by Wales (1.8°C), Northern Ireland (1.6°C), and Scotland (1.5°C). This warming disrupts ecological events like pollination and migration, threatening biodiversity. Earlier flowering also poses risks to agriculture, with crops vulnerable to late frosts. Human health is affected as longer growing seasons extend the hay fever period.
