Retail sales in the UK saw a boost in May, thanks to warmer weather and falling inflation, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS). Most retailers experienced an improvement in sales, particularly in clothing and household goods. After a weather-related decline of 1.8% in April, retail sales rebounded strongly in May, with a 2.9% increase in sales volume. This increase was attributed to the combination of better weather, lower inflation, and growing consumer confidence. Overall, both in-store and online spending saw a significant uptick, indicating a positive trend in consumer behavior.
