Snow could fall in Norfolk over the next couple of weeks as a period of unsettled weather hits the region.

The Met Office has warned that colder air in eastern parts of the country may bring wintry showers and these "snow showers may become more widespread".

The forecast from March 4 to March 13 also claims that "later in the period there is an increasing chance of it turning more unsettled, possibly bringing snow at times".

It comes after a major Sudden Stratospheric Warming (SSW) earlier this month which is the same weather phenomenon that brought the Beast from the East to Norfolk in 2018.

A long-range forecast from the Met Office, from March 13 to March 27, is also predicting a cold snap, with spells of rain and the chance of snow in some areas. 

The forecaster warns that "some wintry episodes may be disruptive due to the potential combination of snow and strong winds".

According to the BBC forecast, sleet could hit Norfolk on Monday, March 6, and Tuesday, March 7, with Norwich, Thetford, King's Lynn and Cromer all set to see wintry showers.
