There could be a sting in the tail before the UK bids farewell to any wintry weather with some forecasters anticipating a bitterly cold snap with widespread snowfall. The astronomical Spring is set to start on March 20, but the Arctic conditions are set to hit the country just a few days later.
Weather data website WXcharts indicates snow flurries will hit many areas of England and Wales on March 24. It predicts falls from Newcastle in the north, stretching all the way down to Bournemouth and parts of Devon, reports BristolLive.
Worst of the conditions are predicted close to the Welsh border and the Midlands with a possibility of 2-3 cms of snow an hour, according to WXCharts. Temperatures could plunge well below zero as high pressure to the northeast of the UK is expected to influence the UK's weather during the comings days.
