Why do conkers ripen earlier in the south of the country than in the north?
Well, isn't that just a happy little question! Conkers ripen earlier in the south because of the warmer temperatures and longer hours of sunlight.

Just like painting a beautiful landscape, nature has its own way of creating balance and harmony across the country.

Additionally, they should gather climate data, such as temperature and rainfall patterns, to analyze any correlations between environmental changes and ripening times. Finally, public reports or citizen science contributions could enhance the dataset by providing localized information.
