The Met Office says there is an 80 per cent chance of sudden stratospheric warming in March, which could bring severe and cold weather
The UK Met Office forecasts an 80% chance of a polar vortex collapse in March, potentially leading to severe cold weather similar to the 2018 "Beast from the East." A sudden stratospheric warming (SSW) event is expected, which could cause a reversal of winds and a rapid descent of cold air, leading to a long spell of dry, cold weather in Northern Europe, including the UK. A sharp drop in temperatures and wintry showers are expected next week.
