UK weather: April set to be frostiest in UK for 60 years
This month saw 13 days of air frosts in the UK, compared with the previous record of 11 in April 1970….
The frosty conditions have been challenging for gardeners and farmers with Guy Barter, chief horticulturist at the Royal Horticultural Society, saying that flowers such as camellia and magnolias had been “scorched” while cherry, plum and pear blossom had been injured so the “fruit crop will be reduced”.
