The bitterly cold air could head towards the UK at the start of March triggering a sharp drop in temperatures with -4C expected in central Scotland, weather maps suggest. According to a forecast chart by the Weather Outlook, the colder air - represented by darker blue shades on the map, moves into Scandinavia on March 2-3 and remains in place for over a week, Express reported.

Commenting on a chart which shows blue air sweep across Europe towards Britain, the Weather Outlook wrote on Twitter: “GFS 06z shows quite a cold evolution with the risk of snow returning to central and northern areas”.

Freezing conditions are expected for parts of Scotland on March 3 and will be widespread across the UK by the night of March 6, a chart by WxCharts suggests.

Its weather forecast reads: “For the second week of March, high pressure will begin to shift away to the west. This will allow the colder flows from northeast Europe to move in, bringing fresher Atlantic air from the north or northwest."

“Temperatures will tend to dip below average, but it will still be drier than normal with high pressure close enough to keep any strong weather fronts away to the north. However, it won't be quite as dry as the first week of March, and some rain is likely at times.”

According to Weather Online, pressure will be staying high through Saturday. However a weak front will slip south through Scotland and Ireland bringing some cloud and a few spots of rain over western coasts and hills. This cloud is slipping into northern England and parts of Wales in the afternoon as well.
