April 2025 was the sunniest April on record in the UK. It beat the previous record set in 2021 which in turn beat the record set in 2020 during COVID19 lockdown. There may be a theme but equally I’m not going to bet on all April’s being sunny. Given March was also the 3rd sunniest on record, there’s a good chance this Spring will beat the extraordinarily sunny Spring of 2020.

Pay Gap Data #7 – Where can I find gender pay gap data for 2023?
This post was updated on 2nd October 2024 with the latest data for the 2023 snapshot date. I will continue to update each quarter with data from late reporters.
