What Met Office says about Beast from the East as weather charts show chance of heavy snowfall

The Met Office has addressed reports the UK is set to be hit by another Beast from the East next week. Their forecasters say that indications are that "we could see some colder weather next week", but different weather models are showing different scenarios.

Overall, they are predicting that there could be a 15% chance of snow, and another weather map for later in February, around Wednesday, February 15, show heavy snow could fall in parts of Wales but it is still too early to say for definite if this will happen.

Cold weather in America is affecting the jet stream, which will in turn affect the weather in the UK, but there are no current forecasts that we will see the same snow as in 2018, when the UK was hit by the Beast from the East.
