Soaring gas prices are not the sole reason for our increasing heating bills – four out of the five past winters have been colder than average, the Met Office has revealed.
Today marks the start of spring in the meteorological calendar, with Met Office figures indicating the average temperature over the winter months was just 3.3C (38f).
With the exception of 2011/12, which was milder than the 30-year seasonal average of 3.7C (39f), every year since 2008 has been colder.
