A swarm of flying ants a mile long was caught on a weather radar on the south coast – and more could be seen in the coming days.
The Met Office picked up the ants on a rain radar on Friday as people took to social media reporting sightings saying it was “flying ant day”. The forecaster said the winged insects are usually picked up on their radars at this time of the year over the space of about a week.
The swarms appear on the radars and look similar to rainfall, but the Met Office can check their weather gauges to confirm if it is rain or flying ants.
