Warnings have been issued for snow and ice by the Met Office, as a northerly airflow looks set to bring some disruptive weather throughout the next week. Plummeting temperatures are set to stay well below average for much of next week, with increasing chances of snow in southern regions from Wednesday (March 8) onwards.
At the start of next week, the area of high pressure responsible for recent stable conditions will move away to the west, allowing a northerly airflow to sweep across the UK. The arrival of this arctic maritime airmass will bring snow showers to Scotland, Northern Ireland and the North East from Monday; however, it will also introduce cold conditions across the UK, with widespread freezing temperatures overnight and the risk of snow in the southwest later in the week.
Yellow warnings for snow and ice have been issued for early Monday morning through to late Tuesday, with snow showers predicted in northern and eastern areas of the UK. Up to 5-10cm of snow could accumulate over northern Scotland early next week, with icy conditions likely to cause travel disruption.
