The warm weather teamed with supply chain improvements has seen Kingfisher report a 40 per cent leap in profits.
Kingfisher, which owns B&Q in the UK, saw a 13-week profit of £128 million.
Ian Cheshire, the chief executive of the company, said that he didn't expect the good news to continue and claimed that there would be "a particularly tough balance" this year.
It claimed that supply chain improvements teamed with fewer markdowns had helped retail profit at B&Q double to £58 million.
Matthew McEacheran, a Singer Capital Markets retail analyst, said: "Although B&Q has clearly been a beneficiary of seasonal weather, we see the strategic turnaround plans as being capable of delivering more upside in the remainder of the year.
"The season weather patterns in May also lead us to believe that B&Q has got off to a cracking start so far this quarter."
The news led shares in Kingfisher to jump by seven per cent.
