The UK is expecting a blast of cold weather in April, with temperatures dropping to 0 degrees Celsius or lower. Weather maps indicate that this chilly weather will arrive as spring is starting. According to WXCHARTS, many areas will feel the Arctic air on Wednesday, April 2, around 6 am. The cold snap will continue into Friday, April 4, with similar temperatures expected. Coastal regions, including Cornwall, the eastern coast of England, and parts of Wales, will likely escape the harshest conditions. In Scotland, the forecast suggests some snow, with certain regions experiencing rates of up to 2 centimeters per hour. Meanwhile, much of west England will face rain while the Midlands and East could remain dry. The Met Office provides a slightly more optimistic outlook, suggesting a mix of sunny and dry spells at the end of March. They note that winds and rain may increase in the North and North West. While nights may remain cold, especially under clear skies, daytime temperatures are likely to be around average. As spring unfolds, many in the UK are still hoping for warmer weather ahead of summer.
