Are there more spiders about this year?

Honestly, I usually start seeing a lot in September until about early October.

Why am I seeing them all, loads of them, a big increase, now in June?

Does anyone know what on earth is going on?

Same here! Hardly saw any during the usual spider season last year but I've seen 3 big ones running about the kitchen in the last month.

I’ve not noticed any more around than usual at this time of year.

Apparently it's because there's been warm wet weather recently, which = more insects to eat, therefore more spiders to eat the insects.
