We enjoyed more than 900 hours of sunshine in Jersey this summer.

It's the fifth sunniest and equal sixth warmest since records began in 1925.

July proved to be the sunniest month, with a record-breaking temperature of 36°C recorded at Jersey Airport on July 23.

907.2 hours of sunshine were recorded between June and August, just over 140 more than the 30-year average.

The average temperature and rainfall were slightly above average, at 18.3°C and 170.8mm respectively.
