May 2024's average mean temperature of 13.1°C for the UK beat 2008's previous record figure of 12.1°C in a series which dates back to 1884.
A Met Office Spokesperson said, 'While it may not have felt like it for many, with sunshine in relatively short supply, provisional figures show May was the warmest on record in our series back to 1884.'
