Parts of Britain will be unleashed by a snow bomb at the same time as the latest weather maps have turned a mix of white and purple for four areas. The purple and white blobs are huge indicators we could see snow during that period.
Maps from WXCharts indicate that Inverness, Newcastle, Manchester, and Leeds could witness heavy snow showers at the same time as the temperature level plummets to 0C.
The wintry conditions will begin to set in from March 20 and will soon be spotted in these areas by March 24.
As per the maps, areas such as Manchester and Leeds could be witness to 3cm per hour of snowfall.
While the areas in Scotland like Inverness, Portree, and Fort William could see 8-9 cm of snowfall per hour.
The snowy conditions will continue to rule the weather charts in Scotland for the next two days ie March 25 and 26.
However, in other areas, the snow will turn into rain bringing in more wet weather.
The entire month of March in the UK is mostly dominated by rain and snow as a part of the severe weather phenomena on its way.
The Met Office’s forecast for the period between March 15 and 24 stated: “From the end of the week a broadly unsettled pattern continues.
“Friday likely seeing longer spells of rain clearing northern areas whilst showers, sometimes heavy with thunderstorms developing elsewhere, though some brighter spells at times and clearing skies overnight.
“Temperatures feeling mild out of the fresh winds. Through the weekend further bands of rain expected to push in from the west and southwest, breaking to showers at times.
“Into the new week temperatures trend down toward average for the time of year as the broadly unsettled pattern continues with periods of rain, heaviest in western areas push across the country to be followed by occasional showers, with a risk of thunderstorms mainly in the south.”
Today:
Cloudy skies today with mist and murk around eastern coasts. Outbreaks of drizzle will continue in the east, and light rain will spread across Northern Ireland and western Scotland. Largely dry elsewhere, perhaps with some brighter spell in the southwest.
Tonight:
Cloudy and mostly dry at first this evening. Heavy rain will move into western areas later in the night with brisk winds. Staying frost free under the blanket of cloud.
Tuesday:
Outbreaks of rain will spread across the UK, turning heavy at times. Becoming a little drier in southern England during the afternoon. Breezy for most and windy in the west.
Outlook for Wednesday to Friday:
Rain continuing this week, particularly in the northwest where it will be occasionally heavy. Some fine and dry weather in the southeast at times. Turning milder through the week.
