| 20/06/2009 With the Met Office's prediction of a barbecue summer looking increasingly likely, Vision Express, is warning parents to protect their children's eyes from excessive exposure to sunlight. The warning has received the endorsement of the RNIB. The May Met Office circular indicates that many parts of the UK enjoyed sunnier-than-average conditions this year, with some parts of Scotland seeing 150% of normal sunshine. Mean temperatures were between 0.5 °C and 1.5 °C above the 1971-2000 norm throughout the UK, with increasing warmth toward the east coast of England. |
