The Met Office has denied reports that a 'snow bomb' will hit the UK and cause a deep freeze, similar to the infamous Beast from the East. Forecasters have now issued a medium and long-range forecast after some reports suggested a polar vortex could trigger a deep freeze across the UK.
It is set to become milder this coming week after a long period of colder weather. But this cold period will last longer than initially predicted, TheMirror reports.
Met Office forecasters say any suggestions of a deep freeze are premature after reports suggested a polar vortex could trigger similar conditions to the Beast from the East in 2018.
