The UK braces for a severe snowstorm, with up to nine inches expected. Northern Ireland may escape the worst of the weather as chaos looms.
UK: A big snowstorm is coming in February 2025. It’s called the Beast from the East. Some areas might get up to nine inches of snow.
Many towns and cities are at risk of heavy snow. This storm could be like the one in 2018. Most of the country might see snow, but Northern Ireland could be spared.
The worst snow is expected near the Scotland-England border. There, about 22cm, or nearly nine inches, could fall. After the storm hits eastern England, Northern Ireland looks likely to miss out.
The Met Office has shared forecasts for the end of February. They say high pressure will dominate at first, but things may get unsettled later in the month.
They also mentioned that temperatures might be below average initially, with some frosts. However, they could rise to near average later on.
Precipitation is expected to be below average at first. There might be a few wintry showers in the east and some rain in the west, but amounts should normalize later.
