The warmth that briefly embraced some regions of the UK is about to give way to frost and blizzards. This is evidenced by weather maps predicting a sharp change in weather within 72 hours.

The north of England and Scotland, which have enjoyed relatively mild weather in recent days, will once again plunge into bitter cold. Express writes about the forecast for the next three days.

New weather systems coming from the North Sea promise a drop in temperature to 11 degrees Celsius and blizzards.

The west coast of the country will also be affected by the weather. The latest weather maps from WXCharts show that the temperature drop will begin in the evening of February 20, and the first precipitation in the form of snow is expected on the northwest coast of Scotland the next day.

By Thursday morning, snow will cover a large part of the country, from Cairngorms in the east to the west coast. Winds will increase throughout the day, reaching 60 mph in England and Wales and 20 mph in Scotland.

Light snowfall is also expected over the weekend, but mostly in small areas in central Scotland. In other parts of England and Wales, hail is more likely.
