A snowstorm has been forecast to sweep across the UK as Brits could see a blizzard similar to the Beast from the East. The Met Office has warned the chances of a major Sudden Stratospheric Warming (SSW) are likely to happen very soon, with snow forecast to fall for three days in row.
The 2018 February Beast from the East saw 22 inches of snowfall in some areas and an estimated £1.2billion in damage caused. As reported by the Mirror, in a blog post, the Met Office wrote: "The latest forecasts are showing that a major SSW is now likely to take place.
"A major SSW often makes the jet stream meander more, which can lead to a large area of blocking high pressure over northern Europe, including the UK [and Ireland]. This blocking high pressure can lead to cold, dry weather in the north of Europe, including the UK [and Ireland]."
