UK, England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, France, Germany and the Netherlands brace for a fierce spring storm with snowfall, freezing winds, and travel disruption.
After a brief taste of spring, a blast of wintry weather looks set to sweep across the UK once again. According to the latest WXCHARTS models, parts of the country could see snow returning as early as 6am on Friday, 28 March.
Over a 66-hour stretch—from Friday morning until midnight on Sunday, 30 March—snowfall is expected to develop across different areas of the UK. However, on Friday, it appears Scotland will bear the brunt of the snow, while much of England and Wales will instead see rainy conditions, especially along the southern coastlines, northern England, and both the eastern and western seaboards.
Come Saturday, 29 March at 6am, temperatures are expected to plunge. Wind chill data suggests large parts of the UK will feel as cold as 0°C or even lower. Only southern England and Wales are likely to remain above freezing.
By Saturday evening (6pm), northern regions in England may experience light to moderate snowfall, with accumulation rates peaking at up to 2cm per hour. Areas in the firing line include Manchester, Lancashire, North Yorkshire, Cumbria, and even pockets of Wales.
As we move into Sunday, 30 March, snow may linger only in North Yorkshire, where flurries of up to 0.2cm per hour are forecast. The rest of the country is likely to avoid further snow, though conditions may remain damp and cold in many places.
