UK weather: Cold snap forecast with snow, hail and thunderstorms
By Thursday, the strong north-westerly wind bringing the colder Arctic air will make a switch to a less cold west or south-westerly wind.After the chilly start, there will be lots of sunshine and with lighter winds, it will not feel as cold as Wednesday.Temperatures will then start to recover slightly on Friday with highs of 7-13C, closer to the average for late March.The weather will stay unsettled for the end of the week into the weekend with some showers at times, turning a bit wintry again on Saturday in Scotland.More persistent rain and stronger winds are likely to move in from the west on Sunday.Sunday will also be the day our clocks will "spring forward" taking us onto British Summer Time (BST).While we "lose an hour in bed" in the morning, we "gain" another hour of daylight at the end of the day with sunset occurring around 19:30 to 20:00 BST, dependent on where you are in the UK.
