The end of winter could be further away than we think, as a rare polar weather front gathers pace and heads for Britain's shores.
The unusual meteorological phenomenon - called a ‘Sudden Stratospheric Warming’ (SSW) - is due to strike at the end of February, following a period of distinctly warmer weather.
The SSW is the same weather formation that caused the infamous 'Beast from the East' in 2018 - which caused travel chaos across the country.
