Weather maps present the place Britain will freeze as 400-mile large Arctic blast hits
Brits are set for a bout of truly dismal weather, with biting winds and downpours set to sweep the nation in the coming days – and there’s even talk of snow.
A storm is set to bring with it a whopping 400-mile rain band, according to satellite data from WXCharts. It is expected to drench Ireland and parts of Northern Ireland come Friday, and it doesn’t look like it’ll pack up for the weekend either.
Scotland and the North West are in for a double whammy of wind and rain, with high spots potentially getting an early dusting of the white stuff. The Met Office isn’t painting a prettier picture either, predicting unsettled vibes from Wednesday onwards.

A Met Office spokesperson has piped up, saying: “Sunshine and blustery showers on Wednesday, with a chilly northwesterly wind. The showers and brisk wind will ease on Thursday. Fine in the south on Friday. Turning wet further north.”, reports the Mirror.
And it doesn’t stop there as the Met Office has its eye on more wind and rain from September 14 lasting until September 23, warning: “It will likely be quite cloudy with outbreaks of rain and potentially strong winds across northwestern areas on Saturday, while somewhat drier and brighter in more southern and eastern parts.”

“By Sunday this wetter zone of weather is likely to sink further south into more central parts, with showers following into the northwest. Confidence is low for early next week, but the chance of some rain or showers in places, more especially in the west and northwest, before a trend towards higher pressure building in the vicinity of the UK from midweek onwards, leading to a more blocked pattern thereafter.”

“After a chilly start to the weekend, temperatures will return to near-normal for mid-September, possibly above-average in places from later next week.”
STV weather presenter Sean Batty warned those in Scotland of particularly severe conditions on the horizon, stating: “There will be a dramatic change, and believe it or not, snow is expected in the mountains of Scotland.”

And the Weather Outlook’s forecaster Brian Gaze also confirmed the data, saying: “Even in the south, daytime temperatures will be dipping below the average and in the north it looks distinctly chilly for the first half of September. Cold nights are likely too, with a risk of ground frost and possibly even air frost in the north.”
