In 2025, the UK has experienced its sunniest April on record, with 228.9 sunshine hours, leading to notably sweeter strawberries. Marion Regan, managing director of Hugh Lowe Farms, noted the high quality of this season's crop, stating the unique weather conditions have resulted in strawberries that are larger and sweeter than usual. The combination of bright days and cool nights has favored sugar production in the plants. As the Wimbledon tournament approaches on June 30, the quality and flavor of this year's strawberries are garnering attention.
'This year's strawberries are markedly sweeter than usual, a grower has said, after the 2025 season got off to a stonking start.'
'This April was the UK's sunniest since records began in 1910, according to the Met Office, contributing to the flavorful strawberries.'
