Winter's over! Snow flurries in the north are the cold snap's last blast before Spring fully blooms with 20C expected from Sunday



It's about bloomin’ time! After weeks of snow and freezing weather, spring is expected to arrive at the weekend bringing temperatures of up to 20C (68F).

The South East and East Anglia will experience the warmest conditions on Sunday and Monday, and temperatures in Scotland and northern England will also venture into double-figures.

The Jetstream, which governs most weather in the northern hemisphere, has been positioned to the south of the UK for the last month, leading to the bitter weather.

But forecasters said that it will finally start to move north over the weekend, leading to more spring-like conditions.

But don't be reaching for the parasols and flip flops just yet. Heavy rain is expected across southern England throughout today, pushing northwards overnight.


There are also likely to be heavy downpours across the UK throughout tomorrow and into Friday when more settled weather is expected.


Despite the weekend forecast, parts of England and Scotland were still covered in snow yesterday as temperatures remained unseasonably low – between 4C (39F) and 7C (45F) – following one of the coldest Marches on record.




And we won’t be able to ditch our winter coats just yet, as forecasters warned that bitter Scandinavian winds will keep temperatures freezing for the next three days.

But daytime temperatures across the country will begin to pick up today, with highs of 11C (52F) to 12C (54F) in the South and South West and 8C (46F) in the South East.

Met Office forecaster Emma Sharples warned that not all areas will experience higher temperatures on Sunday but added: ‘Without a doubt it’s going to start to feel very different.

‘There was a lot of sun in some parts last weekend but it was still very chilly.

‘But on Saturday, London could see temperatures of around 15C (59F) and on Sunday, when the winds aren’t so strong, we could even hit 18C (64F).’

Miss Sharples said that a split could develop next week with the South and East experiencing warm and bright conditions and northern parts seeing the ‘lion’s share of the rain’.


Billy Payne, a forecaster at Meteogroup, said: ‘Cold easterly winds have continued to cause snow in the North of England and Scotland, with a quite brisk wind coming from Scandinavia still affecting large parts of the country.

‘Tonight will be wintry again with accumulations of snow on the high ground.

‘But we are seeing change on the way through Thursday, with heavy rain pushing north and bringing temperatures up with milder air before things get warmer next week.

‘By Sunday and into Monday temperatures should be driving towards 20C in the South East and East Anglia, and double digits in Scotland and the North of England.’
