No more snow for Swindon, says Met Office


DESPITE the snow showers yesterday, the forecast for Swindon predicts little to no more snow for the town.

Concerns that the town would be once again steeped in inches of snow seemed ill founded as the Met Office has said that only slight snow is predicted for Swindon on Friday night this week. Apart from the occasional cloudy day, the weather will actually be bright, and warmer than the last few weeks.

Many people were concerned that the poor weather had made a return after snow fell yesterday.

Adam Beckett, who runs an outdoor events company in Stratton, said: “I thought ‘here we go again’ but luckily it seemed to ease off. I could not bear for it to be that bad again – we lost a lot of money those couple of weeks.

“I think people in Swindon are living in fear that it might happen again.”

The highest temperature can be expected to be around four degrees and that will be on Thursday.

As I watched the snow coming down yesterday, looking out of the window, the Met Office website first claimed it was merely cloudy and then upgraded that to light rain. My eyes must be going, as they never get it wrong, do they?! Maybe they should get a window too?

I believe that the reduction of the chance of snow is purely down to intervention from UKIP.
"Under no circumstances will we allow ANY weather patterns from Europe affect our British way of life" a spokesperson probably said.
