UK Snow Alert: Cold Snap to Hit Before Thursday
21 Mar
Summary
- Snowfall is forecast for northern Scotland and Northern Ireland.
- Unstable weather conditions including wintry showers expected by Wednesday.
- Temperatures will drop to below average after a mild March start.

The UK is bracing for a return to colder weather, with snow predicted in several regions before next Thursday. Following a mild start to March, a significant cold snap is anticipated from next week.
By Wednesday, March 25, the Met Office forecasts "unstable" conditions, including snow over higher ground, particularly in northern Scotland and parts of Northern Ireland. Coastal winds and below-average temperatures are also expected.
This wintry outlook contrasts with the recent warm spell, which saw the warmest day of the year on record. However, such temperature fluctuations are typical for March as the clocks prepare to change.
