Brits should prepare for a cold start to March, with sub-zero temperatures expected across the country and the possibility of widespread snowfall.
According to WX Charts, an online weather forecaster, a 497-mile stretch of snow is set to arrive on March 3, with freezing temperatures persisting until March 5.
Radar data indicates that snowfall will extend from Kearvaig in northern Scotland down to Cardiff in South Wales, with many areas in between expected to receive at least a light covering. However, regions such as East Anglia, London, the East Midlands, and the West Country are likely to avoid significant snowfall.
The heaviest and most hazardous snow is predicted for the Scottish Highlands. Once the snow clears, cold conditions will remain, with temperatures in the Highlands potentially dropping as low as -7°C between March 4 and March 5. Other areas across the UK will experience sub-zero temperatures, though some parts of the south may remain just above freezing.
It is worth noting that the Met Office, the UK's official weather service, does not provide precise snow predictions this far in advance, as weather conditions can change significantly before the expected date.
Today:
Rain and blustery showers will move eastward, interspersed with sunny spells. Temperatures will be milder than in recent days but may feel cooler due to strong winds.
Tonight:
Rain will ease, with showers becoming confined to the northwest. There will be clear spells initially, but by dawn, cloud, rain, and strong winds will spread across much of the UK.
Friday:
Heavy rain will clear eastward, making way for sunny intervals and scattered showers. Strong winds, including coastal gales—particularly in the northwest—may bring the risk of severe gales. Temperatures will remain mild.
Outlook for Saturday to Monday:
The unsettled weather will continue, with periods of wind and rain affecting the country. The most severe conditions are expected in the north and west. Temperatures will stay mild to very mild.
