Met Office forecasts more snow for parts of the UK this week

The UK has seen it all over the past few days with the warmest day of the year (so far), hill snow, and Saharan dust and ‘blood rain’.

The start of this week is set to be a mixture of wet and windy weather, with some sunny spells right across the UK, according to the Met Office.

Met Office forecasts more snow for parts of the UK

Looking further ahead, the Met Office‘s long-range weather forecast for March 13 to 22 has predicted more snow.

The forecast reads: “Changeable through much of this period, as Atlantic frontal systems pass close to or across the UK at times.

“These will bring some occasional spells of rain or showers, most frequent in the west and northwest, and perhaps accompanied by strong winds.

“However, there should also be some drier interludes under transient ridges of high pressure, with longer dry periods most likely in the south and east, though even here some wet weather is likely at times.

“Temperatures will be near-average for the period as a whole, but with some shorter-duration colder interludes at times when frost and hill snow will be possible.

“Later in the period there may be a transition to more blocked or slower evolving weather patterns, though confidence in the detail of this is rather low.”
