Snow maps show exact date 18-hour blizzard hits UK – 9 regions ‘buried’ | Weather | News

Cold weather will hit the UK again this March and new maps will cover the UK in snow. Snow has been seen in most parts of the country in the first two months of the year and it will snow. The snowfall will start at midnight on Wednesday, March 4th and end at 18.00 and will last for 18 hours.

Maps from forecaster WXCHARTS show that the south of England and up towards the Midlands will be mostly dry at midnight. Snow will be seen in Nottingham, Stoke-on-Trent, Manchester, Blackpool and Hull.

There will be a small patch of snow in the Cairngorms National Park. Maps turn icy blue at 6 a.m. as freezing temperatures spread across the country.

Very few areas will see temperatures above -1C, with the coldest area being the Cairngorms National Park at -5C.

At 18.00, snow will spread all over Scotland, and the snow depth in Scotland will reach up to 10 cm.

Northern Ireland will see no snow but a small part of North Wales will. In England, snow will be limited to the north and the most snow will be seen in Hull and Yorkshire.

Separately, a Met Office forecast says: “Atlantic frontal systems are at times highly variable as they move near or across the UK, bringing rain or showers that are generally heaviest and most frequent in western areas, but interspersed with drier intermediate rains.

“Strong winds will also be possible at times, especially in the western parts.

“With a flow mainly from the North Atlantic, temperatures will likely be near or above average for much of this period, although a trend towards slightly cooler temperatures is possible around the lunar change.

“There may be a trend towards slightly drier conditions in the south-east later in the period, while wet spells may persist in the north-west, but confidence in this direction is quite low.”
