UK faces snow next week after 23C mini-heatwave with six cities hammered
The UK faces a snow storm as the country faces temperatures dropping by a staggering 23C at times in mid April. New maps by WXCharts revealed the suspected storm could disrupt several areas on April 14.
The latest data is coloured in a huge section in purple and white which indicates snow, with places like Inverness, Glasgow, Aberdeen, Wick, Edinburgh, and Belfast at risk.
“High-pressure-influenced weather will keep the overall theme largely settled with ample periods of sunshine for many through the upcoming week.
“Additionally, parts further north could hold on to the sunny conditions for several days longer due to the situation of high pressure influencing our weather and some of these parts further north could also see temperatures in the high teens or possibly 20C in the best of the sunshine over the next several to 10 days.
“These expected settled and mild to warm conditions will then pave the way for another wintry blast with some quite decent snow prospects for quite late in the season and April from in and around mid to late April, possibly a little earlier.”
“It will be breezy at times, especially in the southwest at first. Daytime temperatures will depend on the wind direction and cloud amounts, but most places will be warm for most of the period, and very warm days most likely will be further inland.
“Overnight frosts are possible on clear nights where winds fall light. There is also the chance of some areas of low cloud or fog, notably around the east coast. Towards the middle of April, the weather may turn more unsettled as rain or showers try to push in from the west.”
