Warm Up: Snow Is Anticipated in Some UK Areas
The UK is expected to get snowfall in certain areas today, so residents are encouraged to dress warmly.
Unpredictable Weather: Showers, Snow, and High Winds Expected The Met Office is calling for a combination of snow, showers, and strong winds, so prepare for snowy conditions. A yellow warning for snow and rain was previously issued for the Scottish Highlands and Aberdeenshire.
Snow could cover Glasgow and the entire area.
By around 10:30 p.m. tonight, there could be snow in certain areas of Scotland, especially those close to Glasgow. On the other hand, precipitation showers with sporadic bright spells are expected throughout the remainder of the United Kingdom.
Information from Deputy Chief Meteorologist Mark Sidaway of the Met Office highlighted the continued unpredictability of the UK’s weather patterns. He pointed out that extended wet spells, strong gusts, and heavy rainfall could be dangerous. A worry about stored precipitation also exists, particularly in areas vulnerable to flooding during a rainy winter.
Variations in weather patterns
Mark Sidaway stated that although conditions should improve in some locations in the next few days, gale-force winds could coincide with high tide in coastal regions in the north and southwest. On the other hand, most places—especially the eastern and northern ones—should experience fewer showers, longer days, fewer wind gusts, and higher temperatures.
Outlook for Easter Weekend
The Met Office predicts a rainy start to the Easter weekend, especially in the west and south. Most areas are predicted to have rain showers, with the south and west probably seeing the most precipitation. Northern regions may get more sunshine and drier weather by the end of the weekend. All things considered, Easter weekend temperatures are predicted to be marginally higher than those of the previous week.
