Snow maps reveal rare March blizzard to bury cities in England and Scotland

A rare March blizzard is expected to hit several cities in England and Scotland at the start of next month, with forecasts indicating significant snowfall.

According to advanced weather forecasting maps, a rare March blizzard is anticipated to sweep across the UK, affecting major cities in both England and Scotland. Meteorologists noted that although the meteorological winter is coming to a close, this blizzard could bring an unexpected snowfall, following the end of winter. The forecast indicates that heavy snow could begin in Scotland, particularly affecting Glasgow, before moving southward towards northern England and North Wales.

The GFS weather model reveals that snow is likely to start falling over Scotland and parts of northern England by the evening of March 5. While the initial snowfall may primarily impact higher elevations in England and Wales, the snow is projected to blanket larger urban areas as the blizzard progresses. By the early hours of March 6, cities such as Newcastle and parts of Yorkshire, including Leeds, could experience significant snowfall,

This unusual weather pattern raises concerns about travel disruptions and potential impacts on local infrastructure as March is typically not associated with heavy snowfall in the UK. Residents and officials are being advised to prepare for possible travel delays and hazardous conditions during this blizzard, highlighting the unpredictable nature of British weather even as seasons change.
