Met Office gives verdict on ‘600-mile snow bomb’ predicted to hit UK

The Met Office has weighed in on whether a huge amount of snow forecast for the UK later this month will actually hit or not.

Forecaster WXCharts predicts we’ll see a huge dumping of snow on March 21, which will bring freezing temperatures, rain and high winds as well as plenty of the white stuff.

It predicts temperatures in the south west of England could get especially frosty, with lows of -10°C predicted in some areas.

It’s highly unusual for snow to fall so far south during that time of year – but for anyone hoping for a snow forecast, we wouldn’t advise you get your hopes up.
