Met Office issues snow and 'beast from the east' update with three possible likelihoods

All eyes are on the weekend as forecasters try to determine what impact the sudden stratospheric warming over the North Pole earlier this month will have on our weather in the UK. The latest Met Office update has looked at three scenarios and believe the most likely could bring "disruptive snow" to parts of the UK.

It is too early to determine which areas would be affected but the changes will be happening over the weekend and to the start of next week.

It was revealed early in February that a sudden stratospheric warming was taking place high up in the atmosphere up to 50km above earth. The weather condition makes the jet stream "meander" more which in turn can lead to a large area of blocking high pressure over northern Europe.
