Met Office gives verdict on snow weather forecast after 'Beast from the East' rumours

The Met Office has quashed rumours that the 'Beast from the East' could return.

Anticyclone Hartmut, dubbed the Beast from the East, was a storm that began on February 22 2018 and brought a cold wave across the British Isles. Anticyclone Hartmut caused widespread unusually low temperatures and heavy snowfall.

In recent weeks, reports have predicted temperatures in the UK could plummet resulting in a downfall of snow in just a matter of days. While it will become cooler with high-pressure building in from the east, any snow is most likely to be confined to the mountains in the north.
