Is the Beast from the East set to return?
As we move towards the winter months, the newspapers have printed what may be regarded as scare stories about a potential about a return to the "Beast from the East".
These headlines are in light of a scientific research journal produced by the University College London.
The research talks about the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) and ITV Weather meteorologist Chris Page explains what that is.
Scientists from the University College London forecast the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) is likely to be in a negative phase and is, therefore, more likely for us to experience a colder winter.
Their researches say temperatures will be colder than normal during January and February 2020.
A forecast average temperature of 3.9C for January to February 2020 in central England – which they say is 0.5C below the 1981-2010 average for the same period.
So yes, a cold winter may be on the cards, but we wont know anything about another "Beast from the East" until we're much closer to the event.
