Will it snow in London in March? Weather map shows when snow could hit capital this month

A weather map that highlights potential snowfall across the UK shows snow could hit London this month.

Despite March’s sunny start in London, city locals may just wake up to frosty scenes as the month goes on.

WXCharts’ weather map which distinguishes snowfall with the colour purple shows the capital could be hit by snow on Tuesday, March 18.

The centre of the city is set to have heavier snowfall indicated by a darker purple on the map while other parts of the city have a lighter hue meaning lighter snow is expected.

The potential snowfall forecast by WXCharts comes as the Met Office has warned the UK could have a colder spell towards the end of March.

The meteorological service’s long range forecast for March 7 to March 16, reads: “How weather patterns evolve during the following week is unclear but there is an increased chance that high pressure will become more dominant for a time from the north.

“This would result in a good deal of dry weather but also lead to a downturn in temperatures with a low chance of a colder spell.”

The long range forecast for the rest of the month adds: “Above average temperatures are more likely than below though some colder spells remain possible during late March.”
