Snow could impact parts of the UK today as blustery showers turn wintry, prompting a yellow weather warning across Scotland. The warning remains in place until 9am on Friday, with predictions of 2 to 5 cm of snow in areas such as Aberdeenshire and the Highlands, and up to 10 cm possible on higher ground.
As temperatures are expected to rise as high as 13°C in the south and 11°C in the north, a sharp drop is anticipated across the rest of the UK on Friday, with expected peaks of only 7 to 9°C. This follows a week of mild weather, which saw the Met Office record the hottest day of the year so far at 19.2°C last Thursday.
According to Met Office meteorologist Alex Deakin, “It is still quite breezy, not as windy as yesterday, but we’re in the colder air, so that breeze is really bringing something of a chill.” A mixture of clear spells and scattered showers is expected overnight, leading to a widespread frost forming.
In addition to the snow, BBC Weather has reported that a few showers are also expected in the south this evening. Rain is forecast to spread southeastwards on Sunday, followed by sunshine and blustery showers.
The UK has experienced mild weather throughout March until gale-force winds hit this week, changing the conditions significantly. As the weather continues to shift, residents are advised to stay updated on forecasts and prepare for potential disruptions due to the wintry weather.
