Is it going to snow in March? Here is the latest Met Office forecast.

Will it snow in March?

There has already been a yellow weather warning in March, with some icy patches throughout the country.

From March 16th to March 26th, the Met Office forecast states: "The dominant area of high pressure will gradually drift away to the east of the UK through the early part of next week.

"So initially there should be a good deal of dry weather with sunny spells by day, but still some chilly nights with frost in places. The odd fog patch is possible in the north, and a brisk breeze across the south will make it feel chilly here when out of the sun.

"Beyond that we will see a gradual transition to less settled conditions. So rain or showers are expected at times, mostly focussed across the south at first, then more widely later. With winds predominantly coming from the south next week it will also become much milder, possibly warm in places."

"This means periods of unsettled, wet and windy weather interspersed with some drier and brighter spells. Into early April, there may be a transition to more-frequent drier and more settled spells. Temperatures will probably be above average overall."
