Reports which claim the UK could be hit with up to four inches of snow within days have been debunked by the Met Office. A “Beast from the East” will reportedly batter the UK causing heavy snowfall and plummeting temperatures.
But the Met Office has addressed the rumours and reassured people that we won’t be seeing extreme weather conditions any time soon. The weather experts said that although temperatures have dropped significantly, thick snow is not on the cards at the moment, the Liverpool Echo reports.
Jim Dale, meteorologist for British Weather Services said: "There is a change in weather patterns now looking likely at the start of December. If this happens, we are in a classic position to get a cold flow in from the east, and with that, snow, ice and very cold winds."
