Scenes reminiscent of 2018's 'Beast from the East' could hit the UK again, with a major warming event possible in the coming days. The start of a major Sudden Stratospheric Warming (SSW) could soon bring on snowy conditions in the UK, according to long-range forecasts from the Met Office.
The development often leads to wintry weather as it can cause the jet stream to shift off its normal course. Back in February 2018, a SSW was responsible for the 'Beast from the East'.
The winter storm saw as much as 22 inches of snow fall in some areas and an estimated £1.2 billion in damage caused to the national economy.
