New weather maps indicate a drop in temperatures, bringing snow as far south as Cornwall and Devon. This cold spell follows a period of rising temperatures as spring arrives, replacing the previous weeks of heavy rainfall across the UK. The Met Office has forecasted snowfall for various regions on March 13, with Scotland already experiencing snow and expecting up to 4mm per hour in some areas.

Later in the day, more regions in the UK are expected to see snow, including Scotland, Derbyshire, and Yorkshire. By evening, the snow is projected to reach Devon, Cornwall, Wiltshire, and parts of the Midlands. The weather will turn sharply cold on Friday with strong winds persisting into the following day, leading to icy patches forming.

Looking ahead, the Met Office foresees fluctuating weather patterns over the next few weeks, with periods of rain and showers, especially in the western and northwestern regions. Despite some drier intervals, wet weather remains a possibility, particularly in the south and east. Temperatures are expected to hover around average levels, with occasional colder spells bringing frost and hill snow.

As Easter approaches, temperatures are likely to remain average, with a chance of temporary colder conditions and frost. Moving into late March and early April, a more stable weather pattern is anticipated, possibly with high pressure systems to the north or northeast of the UK. While the exact impact on the UK weather is uncertain, a reduction in Atlantic-influenced weather is probable, with some wet conditions persisting in the south and east, and drier conditions in the northwest.

Overall, temperatures are expected to stay close to average during this period, with a heightened risk of colder spells and frost.
