The Guardian has remained the most popular UK newspaper website in terms of unique users for the third month running, according to the latest figures from the Audit Bureau of Circulations Electronic (ABCe).

The Guardian posted 35,792,874 unique users in November - the highest number of unique users in one month for any UK newspaper website ever recorded by the ABCe.

The site's unique user figure rose by 12.93 per cent from October - the biggest month-on-month increase from all the newspaper sites audited in the report.

"Our world news and environment sections of the site drove the most traffic to Guardian.co.uk in November, with several stories on climate change - in particular the story about the leaked emails from the University of East Anglia's Climate Research Unit - resonating with audiences around the globe," says Emily Bell, director of digital content at Guardian News & Media, in a press release.
