The Met Office has warned that snow could hit parts of the UK this Sunday (March 26) as temperatures take an icy plunge. The UK’s weather agency said that Brits should expect cold air and some wintry showers to hit the north of the UK over the coming weekend.
Their forecast for this weekend reads: “Sunny spells and scattered, heavy showers on Saturday, perhaps more persistent rain in the south later. Giving way to colder air and some wintry showers Sunday, mainly north and east.
Weather modelling maps and data from WXCharts go further, telling Scots to expect up to 2cm of snow per hour in and around Edinburgh, while the rest of the country should expect between 0.2cm and 0.6cm per hour flurries at times.
WXCharts also expect snow to hit near Newcastle and Manchester for a brief period in the afternoon on Sunday.
The flurries are expected to form over Scotland in the morning on Sunday before drifting southward and impacting some in the north of England.
Northerly winds could see the mercury plummet to -10C in Scotland and -1C south of the border.
