Britain’s early taste of summer is coming to an abrupt end, with forecasters warning of a 350-mile-wide Arctic blast heading straight for us. After a couple of weeks of unbroken sunshine and dry spells, live weather maps are now flashing red as a huge mass of icy air makes its way down from the north, landing on Wednesday, 16 April, reported the Express.
Scotland is expected to take the brunt of it, with temperatures possibly plunging as low as -6C. Central and western parts are in for a strong chance of snow, especially across the Highlands, where several centimetres could fall every hour. Down in England, places like Cumbria and the Lake District might also see a snowy surprise, according to WXCharts.
