Shocking new have turned white and purple across the UK predicting in eight cities.
WXCharts weather maps for Monday, February 17 show that several cities may witness snowfall as the temperature levels plunge to -4C.
The maps, which are prepared using the Metdesk data, suggest that wintry conditions will make a return to the UK despite spring edging closer.
Newcastle and Manchester are likely to witness the heaviest snow, the weather maps have suggested. However, the lowest temperature would be experienced around Portree in Scotland, the maps show.
Frank Saunders, chief meteorologist, said: “It’s worth being aware that despite a largely pleasant week ahead, there’s a good chance the UK will experience a dip in temperatures at the weekend and into next week.

“High-pressure is set to move in, bringing along with it easterly winds, low temperatures and an increasing risk of wintry hazards like snow and ice. We’ll know more as the week goes on so it’s worth keeping up-to-date with the forecast in your area.”
The ’s long-range forecast between Saturday, February 8 and Monday, February 17 said: “High pressure will likely sit to the northeast of the UK during this period.
“Consequently, winds across many areas are likely to come from an easterly quadrant, with cold conditions likely, and there’s even the possibility of some snow at times.
“Over the first weekend though, most places will be dry, if rather cloudy, with a few wintry showers possible near some southern and eastern coasts, but some sunshine elsewhere.”
The freezing conditions look set to escalate the following week, with the saying sleet and snow is more likely.
It added: “During the following week, this theme continues, though the risk of wintry showers increases with a risk of some sleet or snow falling more widely for a time, but still with some sunshine in between.
“Temperatures will likely be a few degrees below average with some hard frosts and the wind may make it feel much colder at times.”
