'Thundersnow' phenomenon captured on camera in Southampton

People in Southampton were woken by a loud thunderclap as snow began to fall on Sunday, an occurrence known as thundersnow.

The lightning and thunder was caught on camera by Ben Crawford in Freemantle.

The Met Office said temperatures are due to jump back up this week.

By Wednesday the south of England would likely see between 10C (50F) and 12C (53.6F), said forecasters.

Meteorologist Simon Partridge said: "It's a bit of a rollercoaster from cold and wintry conditions to wet and windy ones"

"We are keeping an eye on rainfall totals because there are some areas that are very sensitive to rainfall and there is further possible flooding as we go through the second half of the week."
