Episode Synopsis

In this episode of Square Raindrop, meteorologists Steff and Jo break down the UK’s latest burst of dramatic weather — from incoming cold snaps to those wildly exaggerated “snow horror map” headlines popping up across social media. They explain what’s really happening with the clash between mild southern air and cold northern air, why Wales is dealing with serious flooding, and how a stalled weather front can drench the country for days.But it’s not just forecasts — Steff and Jo dive into their own travel disasters too. Steff recounts a soggy, unexpectedly chilly trip to Argentina after packing for 35C sunshine, while Jo relives freezing holidays in France thanks to her optimistic summer wardrobe. The pair also chat about terrifying roundabouts in Oxford, getting lost in central London, surprise congestion-related fines, and the challenges of driving among bikes, buses and tiny street signs.Along the way, they share winter prep tips, laugh about Christmas card chaos, passport mishaps, and the annual tradition of forgetting children’s festive photos until the last minute.If you enjoy UK weather updates, flooding and cold-snap analysis, real-life travel mishaps, and the warm, funny chemistry between two Weather fanatics who know their stuff, this is the episode for you.
