Wintry Showers and Gales Sweep Across UK
15 Mar
Summary
- Forecast predicts heavy showers, wintry over hills.
- Coastal gales expected in northern areas.
- Accurate snow prediction is challenging for the UK.
The Met Office's forecast indicates a day of changing weather conditions across the UK. Initially bright in eastern areas, cloud cover will increase, bringing rain that spreads eastward. Behind the rain, expect sunny spells interspersed with frequent, blustery showers. These showers may become heavy and turn wintry over higher ground.
Additionally, coastal gales are anticipated in the northern parts of the country. The Met Office also commented on the inherent difficulty in forecasting snow in the UK. Factors such as the origin of air masses and the relatively warm surrounding seas significantly influence snowfall predictions, making precise forecasting challenging beyond a few hours.
