A significant weather event known as the Beast from the East is predicted to bring heavy snow fall to the UK. According to weather data from WX Charts.com, snowfall is expected to commence in the eastern regions early on February 17th. Scotland will be the first to experience the impact, followed by areas further south.
Regions across Scotland potentially affected include Aberdeenshire, Angus, Argyll, Banffshire, Berwickshire, Buteshire, Caithness, Clackmannanshire, Dunbartonshire, East Lothian, Fife, Inverness-shire, Kincardineshire, Kinross-shire, Lanarkshire, Midlothian, Moray, Nairnshire, Orkney, Peebleshire, Perthshire, Renfrewshire, Ross and Cromarty, Roxburghshire, Selkirkshire, Shetland, Stirlingshire, Sutherland, and West Lothian. In England, counties that may encounter snowfall include Northumberland, Cumbria, Durham, Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, Norfolk, Cambridgeshire, Suffolk, Essex, Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Bedfordshire, Northamptonshire, Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, and Lancashire, as reported by Birmingham Live. James Madden from Exacta Weather commented, 'The coming week will begin with a rather calm and settled atmosphere, with high pressure anticipated to bring about the formation of fog and frost.' 'Throughout Tuesday evening and into early Wednesday, we'll also see scattered wintry snow showers developing across large parts of Ireland, followed later by parts of western Scotland and northern England. It's possible that this wintry weather could become more widespread than current forecasts predict.' 'Towards the end of the working week and into next weekend, an easterly and/or northerly/NE influence will start to emerge across our shores, bringing at least a several-day period of cold and very snowy conditions, aligning with our previously predicted dates starting around February 8-15.' Madden further stated, 'Initially, snow showers may be more sporadic across eastern and southern parts of the country before intensifying in nature and becoming more widespread during the aforementioned period. With this major cold and snow on the immediate horizon, driven by the awakening of cold easterly winds, and others beginning to acknowledge this trend, we can refer back to our multi-day projections for this event.' 'Additionally, our long-range winter forecast, unchanged for several months, predicted this type of development or a notable weather event of this kind during and around the second half of January and/or early February. The precise causal factors behind this prediction remain consistent.
