UK weather maps show snow barrage hitting as far south as Cornwall in March | Weather | News
Snow conditions are expected to hit the UK within a few weeks as the latest weather maps turn white and point to the possibility of wintry showers. According to WXCharts maps, freezing temperatures will occur in England on March 15 and snow will spread to Cornwall.
Weather maps prepared using MetDesk data show that the temperature will drop to -1C as the cold weather affects the country. Weather maps suggested around 21cm of snow would accumulate in areas around Inverness. According to the weather tables, cold weather will begin to affect the country around 12 noon on March 15.
The Met Office’s long-term forecast for March 6 to 15 is as follows: “High pressure looks set to have the greatest impact throughout much of this period, particularly towards the south and south-east of the UK.
“This means many places will see plenty of dry air, variable cloud amounts and some sunshine. The best of the sunny weather will most likely be towards the south or southeast.
“Given clear skies and light winds, some fog is possible overnight. However, frontal systems are likely to affect the north and west of the UK at times, perhaps moving eastwards on occasion, bringing some rain and strong winds and perhaps some peak snow over northern high ground.”
“Temperatures will be near or above normal, but a few patchy frosts are still likely overnight.”
Netweather.tv’s monthly forecast for the period from March 9 to 15 is as follows: “Winds look likely to continue blowing generally from the south or southwest, keeping temperatures above average for most of the year, but low pressure systems are likely to extend generally further east and bring rain bands across the country and be more unstable than the previous week, with some bright showers.
“It will probably be drier overall than normal across eastern Britain, particularly eastern Scotland, where rain bands will tend to fade as they move north-east and there won’t be as many showers between rain bands.
“However, most western counties, particularly the south-west of England, are more likely to be wetter than normal.
“Temperatures will still be 1 to 2 degrees above normal across much of the country, but average temperatures will be closer to western Scotland and Northern Ireland, where cooler arctic maritime air will spread more frequently from the west. Sunshine totals are likely to be above normal in eastern Britain and possibly also in the east of Northern Ireland, but will be close to normal or below normal in Wales and the south-west.”
