The UK could be hit by freezing temperatures as low as -13C in March, according to weather maps from WXCharts. The charts suggest that from March 9, several cities including parts of northern Leeds, Liverpool, and Manchester may experience wintry conditions.
The Met Office's forecast for the period starting March 10 indicates 'changeable conditions' with Atlantic frontal systems bringing rain and possibly strong winds, particularly in the northwest. However, the southeast is expected to be drier, with temperatures near or slightly above average.
For the current week, the Met Office predicts a damp start on Tuesday that will brighten up in southern and central areas, with sunny spells elsewhere remaining cloudy with possible rain. From Wednesday to Friday, rain is expected in the north and west, while the southeast stays drier with sunshine. Thursday will be wetter and windier nationwide, followed by cooler conditions with sunshine and showers on Friday.
Meanwhile, the Environment Agency has issued 49 flood warnings across England, citing ongoing groundwater flooding impacts in the South and river flooding in Somerset, which could lead to property flooding and travel disruption.
