Edinburgh weather: City to be hit by FIVE DAYS of snow and -4C big freeze

Edinburgh could see five days of snow, according to new predictions from BBC Weather.

Their forecasters have suggested snow will begin in the early hours of March 6, continuing until around 8pm with patches of rain and sun breaking up the day. Temperatures are expected to peak at 4C and drop as low as -4C.

Similar weather is anticipated for Tuesday and Wednesday, with temperatures dropping slightly by the middle of the week. Breaking up the snow, Thursday will see bright sunny skies.

Heavy snow is predicted on Wednesday and Saturday.

Towards the weekend, more snow is predicted to hit the capital at around midday on Friday. Saturday could see a full day of snow, though slightly warmer temperatures of up to 5C.

The Met Office has a slightly different version of events, suggesting chilly temperatures and snow won't fall until the end of the week. They said: "This period is expected to be characterised by winds from the north bringing cold conditions to most areas.

"This will most likely result in wintry showers across northern and eastern areas, these turning to more organised bands of snow at times."

The Weather Network, who provide forecasting for Google, also haven't predicted any snow until the end of next week - and have suggested fleeting showers and cloudy skies for Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
