Sussex faces threat of sleet and snow

Sussex is set for several days of unseasonal frosts and cold days with even a threat of sleet or snow.

The Met Office forecast for the rest of April and start of May is: “Cold conditions are expected to continue through the rest of next week and into the start of May. Sunny spells and occasional showers are expected, with perhaps some longer periods of rain. These are likely to turn to sleet or snow on high ground, and perhaps to low levels at times.

“Towards the middle of May it is likely that temperatures will return to normal, although the weather is expected to remain rather changeable.”
