Guernsey Records Third-Warmest Spring

Guernsey has enjoyed its third-warmest Spring on record.

Forecasters say March, April and May were much milder, drier and sunnier than normal, with a combined 680 hours of sunshine.

That's 106 more than the island's 30-year average of 574 - or equivalent to the sun shining non-stop for four extra days:
