Advanced weather forecasting maps indicate that parts of the UK could see snow over the Easter weekend. The ECMWF model suggests flurries may hit the far north of Scotland on Friday afternoon, with more widespread snow possible later in the weekend.
According to the maps, snow is forecast to fall in Belfast, Manchester and Glasgow around midday on Sunday. Sporadic wintry showers are possible across northern England and Northern Ireland, while heavy snow is expected over western parts of Scotland.
The Met Office has warned of “unsettled” conditions, with an “increasing likelihood of wet and windy weather” for some areas. Deputy Chief Meteorologist Steven Keates said: “As we head into Good Friday and Easter Saturday, the weather is expected to turn more unsettled, with spells of rain at times, some of which could be heavy.”
BBC forecasters also predict wet and windy conditions, with gales possible across parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland. Sunday is expected to be a chillier and showery day, with frequent and often wintry showers across northern and western Scotland.
