Met Office speaks out on 'Beast from the East' and when it could hit UK
The Met Office has issued an update on rumours of a second 'Beast from the East' and spoken about when it could hit the UK.
"Not immediately, though, although this is taking place right now, there is a lag effect so we are not expecting an impact if any to take place until the first week of March." "Not all Sudden Stratospheric Warmings lead to cold weather at the surface but what we are seeing from the computer models for the start of March is a signal for higher than normal pressure that would be consistent with the slowing down of the jet stream.
There have been temperatures this week in the high teens thanks to a high pressure but colder weather is now around the corner. Elsewhere in the UK, a yellow warning for strong winds has been issued for this Friday covering Scotland and the northeast of England. Here is the weather outlook for Yorkshire and the Humber from Thursday, February 16, to Monday, February 20.A cloudy morning with some outbreaks of rain and drizzle, in particular across the Pennines. Drier in the afternoon and gradually becoming brighter, with sunny spells developing. Light winds and feeling mild for the time of year.
