Weather forecasters have said that a Sudden Stratospheric Warming (SSW) could affect conditions across the country.
The SSW weather event means snowy 'Beast from the East' type conditions may hit at the end of February. The Met Office's long-range forecast has indicated the beginning of a SSW which sees rapid warming occur high up in the stratosphere.
Such an event often leads to harsh wintry conditions in the UK, as it can cause the jet stream to meander off its normal course, the Mirror reports.
