The latest weather forecast has revealed there is a chance that snow will fall across Swindon this week.

The Met Office has revealed that towards the end of the week, there is a possibility of snow across parts of the south.

Temperatures are set to plummet on Friday morning, reaching as low as 2 degrees, and this is set to bring hail, thunder and chances of snow for the South West.

Although Swindon is likely to miss most of the thunderstorms, flakes of snow are expected between 6am and 9am.
