UK Weather Alert: Snow and Frost Expected This Easter Weekend
31 Mar
Summary
- Snow depths up to 5cm expected over high ground in Scotland.
- Temperatures could drop to -2C in parts of Scotland at midday.
- Wet and windy conditions are likely to continue into the Easter Weekend.
As of Tuesday, March 31, 2026, weather forecasts indicate a potential for snow and frost across parts of Britain heading into the Easter weekend. WX Charts' predictions show snow clearing from some areas but lingering at depths up to 5cm over high ground in Scotland by Sunday evening, April 5.
Temperatures are expected to drop significantly, reaching as low as -2C in Scotland even at midday on Sunday. While some models predict snow, predicting its exact occurrence in the UK remains challenging due to the interaction of Arctic and warmer continental air masses.
The Met Office anticipates unsettled weather from Good Friday, April 3, and Easter Saturday, April 4, with spells of rain, potentially heavy. Following this, sunny spells and showers are expected. The southeast is likely to remain the driest, while windy conditions are probable across the country, especially in exposed northwestern areas. A strong signal points towards continued wet and windy weather throughout the Easter weekend.
