According to WX Charts, the snow is set to arrive over England on the last day of March, with the North West set to be particularly hit by the chilly weather

The forecast, courtesy of wxcharts.com, suggests a total of seven counties should brace for a dusting. The North West appears to be in the crosshairs, with three counties anticipating snowfall.

The Midlands won’t be spared either, with Staffordshire, Worcestershire, and Leicestershire preparing for a snowy blanket.

The snowfall is scheduled to begin at midday on Monday, March 31. A substantial swath of snow is expected to stretch from Cumbria down through Lancashire and Greater Manchester, reaching into Staffordshire near Stoke, reports Birmingham Live.

Early risers in parts of Cumbria might encounter a chill in the air, with temperatures potentially dipping to -2C at 6am.

A smattering of snow is also forecast along the East Riding of Yorkshire coast, touching upon areas in Worcestershire and Leicestershire.

Looking ahead, the Met Office’s long-range forecast from March 22 to March 31 warns of a shift in conditions: “The first weekend of this period is likely to be more unsettled than it has been of late.

“Wetter weather will probably continue to spread to all areas from the west or southwest, at least for a time, with some heavy rain possible, and this could be accompanied by strong winds at times.

“Into the following week, unsettled conditions will probably continue across many parts of the UK, though things could quieten down around midweek, at least temporarily.

“Temperatures are likely to be widely above average at the start of this period, and it will feel warm in any sunshine, before probably falling back and then fluctuating around average for the remainder rest of March.”
