SNOW is set to fall in Glasgow this week. 

As yellow warnings are put in place for snow in the northeast of Scotland, the Met Office has advised that light snow will arrive in the city on Thursday, March 9. 

Beginning at around midday on Thursday, Glasgow is expected to have snow until Friday afternoon, then another flurry on Saturday afternoon.

The Met Office forecast reads: "Dry, sunny and cold on Wednesday and Thursday. Widespread overnight frost, severe in places. Chance of rain or snow on Friday."

It comes after yellow warnings for snow across Scotland were brought forward as Arctic air moves over the country and down to northern England, possibly leading to the coldest temperature of the year so far.

The Met Office said temperatures could drop below minus 10C on Monday night on higher ground in northern Scotland, with northerly winds making it feel even colder.

The wintry conditions could lead to up to 10cm of snow on higher ground in Scotland and 5cm at lower levels.

The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has issued a cold weather alert and has placed north-east England, north-west England and Yorkshire under a level three alert, with the rest of England at level two.
