White Easter possible as chance temperatures could plummet

Snow and freezing cold temperatures could return to the UK, making a white Easter a possibility.

Weather charts suggest there is a likelihood of up to 50% chance of snow falling across northern Scotland, with a 10-25% chance across the rest of the country - reports Mirror Online.

The snow is likely to hit the north of England and Scotland according to the forecast, but temperatures will drop across the country.

Even in the south of England overnight temperatures look set to drop below freezing.

The latest freezing weather means a white Easter is looking likely for Brits up and down the country.

The Met Office also revealed yesterday that the UK has seen the highest and lowest temperatures of the winter season in February.

Cold conditions from the east brought low temperatures down to the lowest of -23.0C at Braemar (Aberdeenshire) on February 11.

This was followed by a southerly flow bringing warm weather from the Canaries and Africa leading to the season’s highest temperature of 18.4C at Santon Downham (Suffolk) on February 24.

The ominous outlook for later this week is a far cry from the weekend, which saw February end with spring-like sunshine.

The warm temperatures saw outdoor spaces fill up despite government advice to continue following Covid restrictions.

Officials had warned people in England only to go out for 'essential' reasons - alone, with their household or 'bubble', or one other person - and resist the temptation to take socialising in the sun too far.
