According to the Met Office, this weekend is predicted to be a cold one and snow may be on the cards early next week.

On Saturday (March 4), the maximum temperature is forecasted to be just nine degrees.

It will be cloudy throughout the day with light, scattered showers.

While they may be some brighter spells, the Met Office says it will feel cooler than it has recently.

From Sunday (March 5) to Tuesday (March 7) we could expect to see some snow.

A spokesperson for the Met Office said:  “Large areas of cloud bringing showers on Sunday and Monday.

“Snow is possible on Tuesday then cloud breaking to clear spells later and blustery at the coast.

“It will be getting colder throughout.”

The area of high pressure that has brought recent benign conditions will move away to the west at the start of next week, allowing a northerly airflow to sweep across the UK.

The introduction of an arctic maritime airmass will bring snow showers to Scotland, Northern Ireland and along the east coast of England from Monday.

The snow showers will predominantly impact northern and eastern areas; however, it will be cold across the UK, with widespread freezing conditions overnight.

Deputy Chief Meteorologist, Chris Almond, said: “Very cold air will spread across the UK from late on Sunday through early next week.

“This brings with it snow even to low levels in the north and east through Monday and Tuesday, and in excess of 10cm could accumulate, most likely on high ground in the north, but also settling for a time at lower levels.

“With freezing overnight temperatures and the risk of ice, there’s a risk of some travel disruption and wintry hazards are likely to persist through much of next week, even further south for a time, so keep an eye on the Met Office forecast for the latest information.”
