Just when we thought we could pack away the winter coats, the Met Office has warned that Britain might be in for a late cold snap this March – and it’s all thanks to a phenomenon that often brings snow.
Meteorologists are predicting a sudden stratospheric warming (SSW) event could hit in the next couple of weeks, potentially throwing a wrench in our hopes for warmer spring weather. If this plays out, we could see a significant weakening of the polar vortex – which usually doesn’t get much attention unless it’s about to make things miserable.
