Snow Surprise for Wiltshire!

Forecast Flip-Flop: Snow’s Coming After All

Earlier this week, weather experts at the Met Office predicted snow for the South West – but said Wiltshire would dodge it. Neighbors like Gloucestershire and Devon were supposed to get the white stuff instead. Surprise! Forecasters changed their minds and now say Swindon and Wiltshire might get a light dusting too.

What’s Happening Friday Night?

Rain moving in Friday (February 13ADC) will turn into sleet after dark as temperatures drop across the UK. Bundle up – it’s getting chilly!

Snow Time: Saturday Early Hours

Around 1am Saturday (February 14), that sleet is expected to become a light snow shower. Temperatures could plunge to -1°C – perfect for a tiny snow party! But don’t expect a winter wonderland…

Where’d the Snow Go? Saturday’s Plot Twist

Your snowman dreams might be short-lived. By sunrise Saturday, sunshine returns and temperatures climb, melting any snow or ice fast. Roads and sidewalks should clear up quickly.

Sunday’s Warm-Up

Winter? More like spring! By Sunday (February 15), temperatures jump to a much cozier 9°C. But heads up – rain and possible hill snow could return later.

The Met Office Breakdown

“Outbreaks of rain pushing south during Friday turn to snow during the evening. A widespread frost develops overnight with icy patches. Saturday looks drier and brighter after a frosty start. Sunday brings rain and potential hill snow as temperatures bounce back.”

So… What’s the Verdict?

Wiltshire might see a fleeting sprinkle of snow overnight Friday into Valentine’s morning – enough for cool photos but unlikely to cause chaos. Pack a hoodie Friday night, snap that snowy pic by 1am if you’re awake, then sleep in knowing it’ll vanish by breakfast. Weather’s being unpredictable, so stay updated… and keep that winter coat handy!
