Warmest Start to May on Record! Is Your Garden Ready for the Hot Weather?
The UK is experiencing the warmest start to May since records began – yes, even warmer than the heatwave of 1990! With temperatures soaring to a consistent 23–24°C and clear skies ahead, it’s the perfect time to get your garden summer-ready.
At Suregreen, we know that hot weather can be a blessing and a challenge. Whether you're a landscaper, gardener, or DIYer, early May is now prime time to prepare your outdoor space for what could be a record-breaking summer.
Why This Warm Weather Matters
- 10 days of uninterrupted sun (10th–19th May)
- Peak temperature of 24°C predicted on the 19th
- Minimal rain, meaning dry lawns, cracked soil, and high water usage
What You Can Do Now:
- Install Ground Reinforcement Mesh – Protect your lawns and paths from wear caused by dry soil and increased foot traffic.
- Lay Weed Control Fabric – Prevent weeds from taking advantage of the dry conditions to spread.
- Add Bark Mulch or Decorative Stones – Retain moisture in the soil and protect plant roots from overheating.
- Use Shade Netting – Shield younger plants from scorching sun and dehydration.
- Support Climbing Plants with Bamboo Canes & Screening – Encourage healthy growth and add a natural privacy feature to your garden.
- Secure Garden Boundaries with Garden & Barrier Mesh – A quick, cost-effective way to section off areas or protect plants from pets and wildlife.
- Create Structure with Wire Panels – Ideal for raised beds, vertical growing, or animal enclosures, especially in dry, open spaces.
- Build with Railway Sleepers – Use them for raised planters, retaining walls, or rustic garden steps that withstand dry and hot conditions.
