According to WX Charts, a wall of snow will arrive on March 3, with the freezing temperatures expected to linger until March 5. Looking from 3 March to 9 March, Netweather TV explained: “This week looks set to be dominated more by low pressure and westerly and south-westerly winds, meaning that it will generally be wet, especially in the west.
“Bands of rain will move from west to east quite frequently, interspersed by brighter showery weather. It will be predominantly mild, especially in the south, but there is a chance of one or two blasts of colder polar maritime air from the west or north-west coming in during this week, bringing showers of hail, sleet and snow especially to northern areas, although again significant lying snow will most likely be confined to higher ground.
“The generally mobile pattern will probably result in relatively sunny conditions at times despite the frequent rain, especially in eastern counties. Strong winds are likely to feature at times, with potential for another named storm or two during the week.
“Temperatures are again forecast to be above normal for most, but less so than during Week 2, probably between 1 and 2C above normal in the south-east, but near normal in Northern Ireland and western Scotland. Except around some North Sea coasts, it is forecast to be wetter than normal.
“Sunshine is expected to generally be near normal in the west and above normal in the east, resulting in the UK as a whole coming out wetter and sunnier than average.”
