Freak storm: snow falling outside the Liberty department store (Picture: @bethsquires)
Workers enjoying their lunch breaks were surprised by a freak snow shower in central London this afternoon.
The three minute hail storm saw people running for cover and putting up their umbrellas as icy snowflakes fell from the sky.
Pictures of the bizarre weather were posted on social media, which showed the snow falling in Covent Garden, Oxford Circus, Regent Street, Conduit Street and other central London spots.
Beth Squires tweeted: “Bizarre sunny snowstorm on Regent Street.”
Jonathan Andrew Hume, who plays Simba in the West End production of the Lion King, wrote: “Sun and snow at the same time. Really London?! That’s ridiculous weather. Make your mind up!”
The freak storm follows reports from the Met Office that warmer weather is on the way for Spring.
Forecasters predict there will be be drier and brighter conditions for most of the south east, while the weekend is likely to see a transition to milder weather.
The sunny spell is expected to continue to Easter, where temperatures could peak at 21C.
A spokesman said there could be occasional outbreaks of rain, but temperatures were “likely to be slightly above average by day”.
