UK snow map shows exactly where and when 'cluster' will hit freezing Brits
New weather charts show where the "cluster" of snow is set to hit the UK - with Brits living in parts of Scotland, England and Northern Ireland already told to prepare for up to 6 inches of snowfall.
The maps, by WX Charts, show the areas that could be affected by snow, which is on its way due to "blocked air currents" in Greenland and Iceland, according to the Met Office. Apart from the snow, the weather is set to be windy and wet for most people too.
The snow is expected to arrive on Friday, with the interactive weather maps highlighting the places that will most likely see a change in conditions. The data shows that it will first hit Northern Ireland and parts of western Scotland, before it will reach as far as Manchester. It is also set to arrive in parts of south London.
The agency told The Express : "Towards mid-March there is an increased chance of a greater likelihood of higher pressure as a ‘blocked’ pattern becoming established over Greenland and Iceland, with lower pressure towards the south and southwest.
