Bouts of “significant disruptive snowfall” are set to hit the South East of the UK, with Storm Darcy also set to bring gale force winds to parts of England, forecasters said.

Easterly winds from the Ukraine and Black Sea area on Sunday will bring an intense chill but the air will not be as bitingly cold as it was with the Beast from the East in 2018, the Met Office said.
