Consumers might face more fruit and vegetable shortages, as temperatures in southern Spain soar to unprecedented levels, while the UK growing season gets off to a late start because of cold, overcast weather. Spain has been in drought since January last year and this is likely to be the hottest, driest April on record. Meanwhile, British growers have also been facing weather challenges, particularly the cold start to the spring growing season and a lack of sunlight.

Fresh produce grown in Spain for UK consumption includes tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, lettuces, broccoli and citrus fruit.
