UK's weather forecast

New weather charts warn a new polar system will slam into Britain causing temperatures to fall across the UK. A light band of snow will fall from northern Scotland to as far south as the Peak District, a distance of roughly 400 miles, on Thursday, March 4.

WXCharts snow depth models predict 6cm (2.5 inches) of snow will fall in the north of England - with much heavier snow forecast in Scotland.

Up to 13cm (5 inches) of snow will fall across Northern Scotland as colder conditions blast in from the northeast. And temperatures will also plummet to as low as -3 across northern England on March 4, WXCharts minimum temperature charts reveal.

Minimum lows of -1 and 0 will also hit every section of England and Wales on the same day whilst the mercury will be as low as -5 across the Scottish Highlands.

A Met Office spokesperson said temperatures in early March would be “lower than average.”

They added: “In early March there is a signal for higher than average pressure to sit close to or over the UK, with dry and settled conditions most likely."

“Temperatures are predicted to be a little below average at the start of the period, slightly increasing the chances of cold spells occurring. During this time there looks to be an increased likelihood of overnight frosts and a risk of wintry hazards, such as snow and ice."

Going into tomorrow, MeteoGroup says a band of rain will move northwards across northern England, Northern Ireland, southern Scotland and Wales.

It will be dry with clear spells for the rest of England and northern Scotland with temperatures averaging 9C. The rain will be mainly confined to northern and western parts with moderate southerly winds.

On Thursday, February 18, there will be rain in parts of the west and south of England in the early morning which will be heavy at times.

It will turn brighter in the south-west later on but rain will re-curve in Scotland, falling as snow at times over high ground. Temperatures are expected to peak between 10 and 13C with temperatures as low as 4C, MeteoGroup said.

Commenting on the current conditions this week, Met Office spokesman Oli Claydon said: "The whole of the UK is now in a mild air mass which has brought quite a significant change in temperatures and also in terms of weather hazards, so the focus moves to wind and rain."

"There will be periods of brightness at times as well, but everywhere pretty much will be seeing that wet and windy weather through the week. Any snow will be limited to the Scottish mountains and is unlikely to reach other parts of the UK.”

BBC Weather has warned that parts of Europe are "bitterly cold" after very strong winds pushed cold air across the continent.

Stav Danaos stated that the cold air has been pushed towards the eastern Mediterranean. The BBC Weather meteorologist added that bands of rain across the northeast of Europe will turn to snow.

Mr Danaos said: "We have seen a lot of snow across Greece and the Balkans into Turkey, very strong winds have made it feel bitterly cold.

That cold air has been pushing its way eastwards towards the eastern Mediterranean."

"We have seen a drop in temperature in Cyprus as well after some heavy showers and storms today. Bands of rain pushing in from the west will be turning into snow across the northeast of Europe, where it will stay very cold."

"But it is much milder towards the British isles, those temperatures will be a little bit above the seasonal average. There will be quite a lot of wind and rain affecting the northwest of Europe. But with that southwest wind comes the mild air."

On Tuesday morning, BBC Weather's Carol Kirkwood that rain will clear across the UK through the evening and overnight.

Ms Kirkwood said: "Through this evening and overnight, we eventually see the tail end of that rain clear, the showers pushed over towards the east."

"Then there's a dry spell before the next weather front comes in from the west bringing in yet more rain and, again, this will be heavy and it will still be windy."

"Not a particularly cold night but a little bit colder than it is now. As we head through tomorrow, that band of rain moves over from the west towards the east."

"There's a curl coming into southern England and the Channel Islands, that will move a little bit further north through the course of the day.

"Showers in the west but, elsewhere, it should be largely dry but still very windy, especially across the northwest."

BBC Weather's long-range outlook warns of a "very cold easterly blast" during the first week of March.

The BBC outlook from March 1 states: "We expect the colder, more blocked weather pattern with abundant high pressure to stick around for at least the first week of March."
