A massive weather system is gearing up to crash into the UK, bringing a staggering 400-mile stretch of rain and snow straight from the Atlantic. According to WXCharts, which pulls data from Met Desk, the relentless downpour is set to hit the west coast on the evening of March 16, before sweeping across the country in the early hours of March 17.
The system is expected to drench nearly the entire UK, stretching from Scotland to the South Coast. Forecasts predict heavy rainfall, with as much as 15mm per hour falling throughout the day on March 17, setting the tone for a gloomy and sodden start to spring. Cities including Edinburgh, Manchester, Birmingham, Cardiff, and Plymouth are likely to see the worst of the downpour, though coastal areas won’t escape the soaking either.
