Snow sweeps back to London on Thursday as temperatures plummet

12 April 2012

Snow will return to London this week as temperatures plummet again.

The capital was plunged into fog this morning, causing severe flight delays and cancellations at London City Airport, and forecasters said conditions will get worse.

Julian Mayes of MeteoGroup said: "Last weekend was just a brief respite from what is now a prolonged cold spell for the UK."

Brief but heavy snow is predicted for London on Thursday as bitter cold sweeps in from the North Pole.

"The snowstorms won't last long, but will be very intense, so could cause problems," said Mr Mayes. "At the weekend we get the main event. Although Wales and the West will be worst hit, we expect there to be a significant snowfall in London as well."
