A cold snap is possible in the coming weeks due to Sudden Stratospheric Warming being picked up on weather models, forecaster Alan O'Reilly has said. 

The weatherman added: "Some possible impacts of the Sudden Stratospheric Warming starting to show now with one forecast model to go negative and another showing a response possible in the troposphere.

"This increases the chances of blocked weather but it still doesn't mean a Beast from the East.

The forecaster said: "In simple terms: A colder start of March is very possible but it’s still wait and see, so don't go stocking up on bread!"
