Sunny weather in St James's Park in London, last month.
Photographer: Jordan Pettitt/PAThe UK and Germany were sunnier than Spain and Portugal this spring, as high-pressure systems over northwest Europe upended typical weather patterns.
Cloud cover — a key solar measure — is well below the 10-year average in the UK and Germany since the beginning of April, according to data from Atmospheric G2. Iberia experienced the opposite.
