Snow and freezing gales to wallop UK

BRITAIN is set to be clobbered by another beastly blast of freezing rain, gale-force winds and snow.

The mercury is set to plunge again as powerful gusts hit the UK today and tomorrow.

BRITAIN is set to be clobbered by another beastly blast this week – bringing freezing downpours, gale-force winds and snow.

The mercury is set to plunge again as powerful gusts and heavy rain barrel up from the South West towards the North East today and tomorrow.

Temperatur­es will barely reach zero in some areas by the weekend, forecaster­s said.

The vicious front could result in more yellow weather warnings, said Met Office spokeswoma­n Nicky Maxey.

She warned: “It is going to be a cold spell, there is a chance some places on Sunday may struggle to get above freezing.

“We start to see colder air from the east.

“When that cold air meets the band of rain on the east side of the country, there’s a chance it could turn to snow.”

It comes after the UK was lashed by unseasonab­ly bad weather for more than two weeks.

The Beast from the East and Storm Emma were responsibl­e for a spree of road tragedies and saw thousands of school closures and cancelled hospital operations.

Yellow warnings for flooding are in place today and tomorrow in Belfast. Heavy wind and rain is set to cause mayhem for air and ferry transport to Northern Ireland.

And Britain’s wild weather will continue next week.

It will be “very cold” on Sunday and Monday with “severe frosts” and “frequent snow showers”, the Met Office said.

Scientists have warned the UK could face extreme snow storms in the future as the Arctic heats up.
