UK weather forecast: who will see snow this weekend?

Welcome to the United Kingdom Weather forecast for the upcoming weekend.

Starting from Wednesday, weather conditions have suddenly worsened. Snow, sleet, and showers took control over the United Kingdom. The heaviest snowfall affected northern and central areas. As a result, BBC weather alerts: there will be an amber warning of snow and ice on Friday, the tenth of March. Such a situation can continue over the weekend.

Disruptions to transport, power lines, and mobile phone network coverage are expected. National Highways warned drivers to be ready for significant waves of snow. The alert should affect Derbyshire, Durham, Cheshire East, Greater Manchester, Lancashire, Staffordshire, along with Yorkshire.

Snowfalls lead to real travel chaos: United Kingdom airports have been forced to cancel flights because of the weather conditions. For example, flights were postponed or canceled at Bristol Airport, Luton Airport, and London Gatwick.
