How does Olney’s inland location affect the forecast?
Olney sits in the floodplain of the River Great Ouse, about 70 miles north-west of London. Its inland position means it is far from coastal moderation, so nighttime temperatures can drop more sharply than near the sea. Fog can form in autumn and winter, but today the live forecast above suggests good visibility.
Is Olney prone to flooding?
Olney lies along the River Great Ouse, so heavy or prolonged rain can cause the river to rise. The Environment Agency issues flood alerts for the area. Check live warnings before travelling.
Where can I find the latest Met Office weather Olney update?

Does Olney get much snow?
Snowfall is infrequent, typically two or three days a year. When it does fall, it rarely settles for long due to the town’s low elevation (about 60 metres). For a look at other parts of the UK, see our 10 Day Weather Forecast UK.
