After warmest day of the year so far, Met Office warns of 'cold plunge' and chance of snow
Temperatures could drop to single digits with snowfall possible in major cities including Glasgow and Birmingham, as the Met Office warns of a swift shift to colder conditions.
- Met Office meteorologist Alex Deakin warns of a "cold plunge" bringing potential snow to Britain, marking a return to wintry conditions after recent record warmth.
- Following the warmest day of the year on Wednesday when temperatures peaked at 20C, the incoming cold snap creates a sharp contrast with forecasts predicting single digits by next Wednesday.
- Advanced weather models including The GFS predict up to 18cm of snow in western Scotland, with major cities Glasgow, Manchester, and Birmingham appearing vulnerable to the conditions.
- Deakin described the sudden temperature drop as a "shock to the system" for communities, with commuters and local services bracing for short-term disruption from the wintry conditions.
- During the coming week, unsettled weather will affect large swathes of Britain as high pressure slips away, allowing frontal systems to move across during the period from March 23 to 29.
