THE UK's unpredictable weather is set to continue with forecasters predicting another cold blast that will send temperatures plummeting later this week.

Just days after the country saw unseasonably warm weather, an 800-mile wide 'Greenland barrage' is heading towards the UK.

Temperatures have already started to fall today (Wednesday, February 22) but the worst of the cold snap won't arrive until Friday and into the weekend.

We asked the Met Office what their forecast is for snow in Buckinghamshire by the end of next week.

Grahame Madge is a Met Office spokesman.

He said: “Within the next seven days – our current forecasting window – there is no prospect for a Beast from the East type weather set up.

"Conditions will turn cooler toward the end of the week and into the early part of next week, but these conditions are fuelled by home-grown cooler conditions and in fact the weather over the next week will be nothing unusual for the time of year: typical winter weather.

“With recent weather features over the Arctic and around the pole there could be a longer-term prospect of colder conditions affecting the UK at the end of February and into March. This is by no means certain however.

"We are signalling the chance for colder conditions to occur after the next week, but at this lead time we cannot have sufficient confidence to state the chances of the event occurring or likely impacts any more definitively.”
