Birmingham is bracing for another snowfall just weeks after being recently blanketed in white. According to the latest weather maps from WXCharts, temperatures are expected to plummet to as low as -13°C starting Saturday, March 7.
Snowfall is forecast to begin early morning near London and the northeast at around 9 AM, gradually spreading across the country. By midday, Manchester is expected to experience snow flurries, with conditions extending westward to the West Midlands and parts of the West Country.
By the evening, snowfall will intensify, particularly in the northwest, with Manchester and Stoke-on-Trent likely to see the heaviest accumulation by 9 PM. Around midnight, the snowstorm will move towards London, although the most severe conditions will hit the west and east Midlands regions.

The BBC’s forecast for March 2 to 15 highlights some uncertainty but suggests that high-pressure systems near the UK could lead to generally drier conditions early in the month, with frost and fog risks. Temperatures will mostly hover around seasonal averages, though some colder spells are possible, especially in Scotland. There is a slight possibility of colder weather if high pressure shifts further north, which could increase the chance of wintry showers.
The Met Office also warns of potentially strong winds with the risk of gales, while temperatures might stay near or slightly above average despite the incoming cold snap.
Residents are encouraged to stay informed and prepared as the ‘Beast from the East’ returns, bringing wintry weather and challenging conditions to Birmingham and surrounding areas.
