"The winter weather follows a wet start to April, with the threat of floods and storms to come over the next few days.
The Met Office has issued weather warnings for the South West, London, South East, Wales and the West of England due to flooding on roads and 60mph winds.
"Hail storms are expected across the country and it is feared windows could be broken by giant hail, up to 1cm thick. In the north and Scotland temperatures could fall to -2C.
"Despite the ongoing drought, heavy downpours could cause localised flooding, even in areas where there is hosepipe ban in place.
"Independent forecaster WeatherAction has also predicted the next month will be the “coldest or near coldest for 100 years” in the East of England, with cold northwesterly winds."
We're getting warmer. SURE we are.

Brrr.
Did you notice how the media ignored the brutal, deadly winter in Europe this year? If mentioned, it was a "cold snap".
We've a forecast of "mixed precipitation" (read snow, sleet, freezing rain, rain, etc.) for early next week.
Don't know that I trust that, though. Weather.com and AccuHunch can't even agree whether it will rain tomorrow (Saturday) or not.
