The Met Office has dismissed claims that a second coming of the Beast from the East, the snowstorm that caused chaos across the country in 2018, is heading for the UK. The weather experts said that there is “no signal of a ‘Beast from the East’”.
In a tweet described as a fact check, the Met Office said that despite some headlines claiming that “snow could hit UK in days as ‘Beast from the East’ vortex forms”, snow will not be heading our way. The experts shared their forecast for the week, which promises a wet and windy weekend for most.
It does say that snow could fall in some places but only on high ground in the north where it is a normal occurrence for this time of year. So put away the sledges and snow boots, but maybe keep your raincoat handy.
