It's not raining – just a 50-mile wide cloud of flying ants

Met Office weather radar picks up swarm over south-east coast of England

A swarm of flying ants has been caught on a weather radar over the south-east coast of England. The Met Office's radar imagery picked up the cloud of ants, about 50 miles (80 km) wide, over Kent and Sussex. Smaller swarms can be seen over London.

The Met Office tweeted a video of the swarm and said: It's not raining in London, Kent or Sussex, but our radar says otherwise.
