The UK is bracing for a dramatic weather change as the Met Office forecasts snow in northern areas following a period of warm spring weather. After experiencing the hottest day of the year on March 18, with 20.9°C recorded in Gogerddan, West Wales, temperatures are expected to plunge starting from April 10. The Met Office predicts unsettled weather conditions, particularly in the northwest, where rain and strong winds will accompany the potential for snow on high ground. The forecast indicates that from April 10 to 19, Atlantic frontal systems will bring persistent rain and colder spells, especially in northern regions. While much of the country will enjoy pleasant sunshine in the days leading up to this shift, including on Easter Monday, the weather will turn fresher by Thursday, with strong winds expected in the northwest by Friday.
