Jersey tourism businesses respond to hottest April in seven years
Tourism businesses in Jersey have been making the most of the hottest April since 2018. According to Jersey Met, the total rainfall has been around half of the usual average for this month, which usually stands at 56.7mm. Sunshine hours have also been above average, with an estimated 80 extra hours throughout the month compared to a typical April. One watersports business owner said the warmer weather had been a "bonus" and enabled him to start the season earlier than usual. In St Brelade, Jono Stevenson of Jono's Watersports in St Brelade said: "It's not very often I'm open in April, it's good to get going. "Generally, in Jersey, the season runs May to September. It's a bonus to be open".Other businesses have not seen much of a change including Simon Monins, who drives Le Petit Train, and said it was "still very quiet."He added: "I've been chatting to some of the hoteliers and they all agree – it's been a quiet start to the year."He remains "hopeful" for the rest of the holiday season. Temperatures are expected to reach highs of 26C on Wednesday, just below Jersey's April record of 26.2C in 1984. Quaranta William is the operational manager of Jersey Bus Tours, and he says he's seen more English visitors during the warm weather. He said: "With us having the open-top bus, it's quite a nice selling point on a hot day. "However, there's been no presence of French visitors." Islanders will be able to enjoy the sunshine this bank holiday weekend at the Boat Show. John Neal of Marquee Solutions has been setting up today. He says the event "kick starts the summer season". "It's all hands on deck at the moment but really enjoyable in the sun".

WATCH: Unmanned boat circles at high speed off Florida after boater thrown overboard
SARASOTA, Fla. (WFLA) — A terrifying situation was caught on camera as an unmanned vessel circled in Florida waters Monday afternoon when a boater went overboard. On Monday, members of the Sarasota Marine Unit responded to a boating incident north of the Ringling Museum regarding a boater in distress. Man dies, 10 hurt in Clearwater ferry hit-and-run crash The boater was thought to have fallen overboard his 26-foot Everglades vessel, leaving it spinning in circles at 40 mph. With the help of the Coast Guard, the sheriff's office, Venice police and SeaTow, officials attempted to foul the boat's motor with tow lines. When that strategy failed, SeaTow deployed a plasma tow line to slow the boat down. Video captured from Officer Dixon's patrol vessel shows authorities maneuvering alongside the vessel, after the situation required them to jump from their patrol boat to bring the unmanned one to a halt. Lieutenant King can be seen jumping ship and stopping the circling vessel. WATCH: Deadly Clearwater ferry hit-and-run crash caught on camera The unmanned boat's operator told officers he was returning the boat after the weekend's Boat Show at Marina Jack when a larger boat cut him off, according to the report.

The operator only sustained minor injuries from the incident. No damage was reported for the man's boat or the responding law enforcement boats. Sarasota police are using this situation to remind boaters to always wear a life jacket and to use their emergency engine cut-off to prevent accidents or injury. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
