Jason Spacey, 43, founder of UKIP weather twitter account said, "If something highlights the absurdity of life in less than 140 characters then people will retweet it," Reports the Mirror.
In just three days, a parody of the UKIP twitter account has amassed more than 98,000 followers.
UKIP is a group that wants UK to leave the European Union.
The irony is that @UKIPWeather account has more followers than the party's twitter account. The meme came into play after David Silvester attributed the flooding in UK to legalizing gay marriage in UK.
Silvester made the statement to a local paper and was sacked from the party after the surprising comment.
Office worker Spacey from Swindon is behind the @UKIPweather account. He has consistently ridiculed the idea about 'gays' or how gay behavior could influence the weather: This is one such example; "Council gritters are on high alert after a man in Peterborough went into a pub and ordered a glass of white wine."
Comedian Stephen Fry got in on the action when he tweeted to six million followers, further pushing the account on Sunday evening, reports BBC.
Another report said that Silvester assumed being gay as a spiritual disease. He added that he loved gays, but he prayed for them so they could be healed.
David Silvester, a UKIP councilor in Henley-on-Thames, said he had warned David Cameron of "repercussions" if gay marriage went ahead, and he believed recent floods that devastated many communities were the consequence.
Mr. Silvester was certain that new laws allowing UK's gay marriages last spring was "the latest mistake to anger God." He added they were among a bunch of sins trailed by abortion laws that are like the Holocaust.
A radio interview with Silvester revealed his position: "I don't have a problem with gay people."
"I believe as a Christian I should love gay people and indeed, I do. My prayer for them is they will be healed."
He continued to say, "When I was at bible college I did a thesis on homosexuality and I came across the writings of an American psychiatrist, Jeffrey Satinover, and he came up with two particular beliefs - one, he said it has not been proven at all that the gay condition comes from the genes, and second he said that by the Holy Spirit, there is always power for a gay person to be healed," reports Mirror.co.uk
