The Met Office has warned that disruptive snow could blanket parts of Britain this weekend as it issues warnings for an “Arctic airmass” that will sweep across the country.
The forecaster said a northerly airflow will bring cold Arctic air from Sunday and into early next week, with snow showers focused across northern areas of Scotland and Northern Ireland. The yellow warning states up to 10cm of snow could fall in just a few hours on Monday alone, and it has the potential to disrupt travel, cause injuries on ice and power cuts.
