March
The start of Spring is again forecast to be fairly cool, with temperatures once more below average, along with rainfall levels. It must be added though that confidence from this point on is low at this time A deep area of low pressure will be centred close to southern England for much of today and will dominate the weather across most of Britain and Ireland. A frontal system will become slow moving over northern England, southern Scotland and Northern Ireland, and could bring some heavy snowfalls to some of these areas. Rain is likely around the coasts though, and the snow will tend to turn back to rain across northern England and Northern Ireland later on today.
This is our main concern for today, as some quite significant snowfalls could occur over the higher ground of these areas, bringing some disruptive conditions. Please see our Severe Weather Warning for more details on this. Later today, the snow will make its way further north across Scotland, with some heavy falls likely in many inland areas.
To the south of this rain/snow band, its a milder picture as the winds veer to the south and turn lighter. Its a misty start in many parts, with a lot of cloud around. There is also some showery rain around, especially across southern counties, and this sums up the story for much of England, Wales and Ireland during the day with plenty of cloud dominating and some showery rain from time to time. Temperatures here will be close to normal, and feeling much milder than recently, but it will still be cold across northern Britain.
The snow threat persists tonight across Scotland and parts of Northern Ireland, and again there could be some potentially heavy falls giving accumulations of up to 15cm over the high ground of Scotland. Elsewhere will see a lot of cloud again, with showers slowly dying out. It will become misty and murky with some fog patches forming and the odd touch of frost, but for many parts it will be a frost free night.
Further rain and snow is likely over Scotland and Northern Ireland tomorrow, whilst it will be a murky and damp start across the rest of the country. Attention will then turn towards the south again as the next area of heavy rain begins to move in by Thursday afternoon, bringing a wet night for much of England and Wales on Thursday night. The unsettled and rather wintry weather will continue during the week ahead, and there is a risk of further sleet or snow at times. During the first half of the week it will be cold across Britain, and even in southern and central parts rain may turn to sleet or snow at times. After Wednesday it may turn less cold in the south, with the snow risk retreating to higher ground in northern England, and Scotland. At times some accumulations of snow are likely, but these are likely to quickly thaw during sunny spells.
