Met Office says widespread snow possible but Beast from the East II unlikely

There is the potential for widespread snowfall in the UK this month (March) - but we're unlikely to see conditions as bad as those that the 'Beast from the East' brought in 2018 - a Met Office weather expert has said.

Snow could finally be heading to these shores from Greenland, which will bring delight to children everywhere, if some predictions are correct. Northern and eastern parts are said to be at most risk, but most of the UK could see snowfall, if there are changes to the forecasted pattern of weather.

It’s all due to a “highly amplified” jet stream, mixed with an area of lower pressure over the Mid-North Atlantic, that will push air up into Greenland and then back down towards the UK next week.
