The Met Office said a major Sudden Stratospheric Warming (SSW) - a sudden jump in temperatures which can trigger a large area of blocking high pressure - may occur late this month or in early March.

In 2018, such an event led to the Beast from the East, which blanketed the North East with snow and shut down hundreds of schools.

The Met Office has stressed that the occurrence of an SSW does not always equate to a Beast from the East type scenario.

They said for the next week or so, it is likely to lead to "changeable conditions" with temperatures milder than average.

But at the end of the month and into March, forecasters said: "A period of colder or much colder temperatures remains a small possibility and could bring spells of wintry weather."
