Met Office warning: 'Heavy snow risk' amid looming threat from Beast from the East


Over the weeks, experts have speculated snowfall because of the return of a natural event that brought snow in 2018. Sudden stratospheric warming at the North Pole brought about a snowstorm, coined Beast of the East, in the UK that year. According to weather maps from WX Charts, some areas in Britain can expect as much as a foot of snow next week.

The maps predict 25 cm of settled snow in parts of northern Scotland although other areas around England and Wales can expect their own share of snow too.

The northwest of England could see 3 cm of snow as could the north of Wales.

Parts of the country will also experience intense windchill.

In Manchester and Birmingham, wind chill temperatures are predicted to plummet to around -8C while London will see a wind chill of -4C.
