Record dry April in Wales could hit fruit prices
April continued a trend marking the driest six month period since 2010/11. Rainfall from October to March was 24% lower than average. The dry conditions could have a knock-on effect for gardeners and shoppers.
Experts have warned of a potential shortage of British apples, pears and berries – all of which have been affected by dry conditions over the winter – which could lead to higher prices in the shops.
