BRITS have been warned of the exact date snow will fall in the UK as strong winds and rain prepare to sweep the country.

Met Office forecasters are predicting some flurries with light snowfall expected during this week.

According to the Met Office’s website, the white stuff could hit early on Wednesday morning in the Scottish Highlands.

Snow may arrive at around 4.15am on March 20, say forecasters.

Today’s outlook sees a band of cloud and showers moving east across Scotland, England and Wales.

Otherwise conditions will remain largely dry with sunny spells, and becoming very mild, especially in the south.

But wet and windy weather will arrive in the far west later, said the Met Office.

“There has been mild weather over the weekend, and that mild theme will continue as we get into the new working week,” Met Office meteorologist Craig Snell said.

“We will start the day with some sunshine across parts of East Anglia, the Midlands, Yorkshire and Lincolnshire.”

“But the cloud further west will spread its way that little bit further eastwards,” Mr Snell said.

“As the day goes on, any rain really weakens.”

For most of the country, temperatures will remain mild, with 16 to 17C expected down south.

However, some fragmented bands of cloud and showers will move across Scotland, England and Wales, the forecast shows.

But it’s not all bad news for Brits with some decent weather on the cards for many.

This band of rain will weaken as the day progresses, leaving a brighter and sunny spell over the afternoon.

Later, wet and windy weather will arrive from the west bringing some rainfall overnight.

This band of rain will bring heavier showers to Northern Ireland, Scotland and later Wales before clearing out on Tuesday morning.

However, scattered showers are set to continue throughout the week.

More rain is set to arrive from the west and temperatures are due to be “changeable”.
