Newcastle weather: The exact time it is expected to snow and when the Met Office weather warning ends

Newcastle is now under a weather warning until the end of the week (Friday, March 10), where temperatures could drop below zero. This comes as the North East of England, North West of England and Yorkshire are now under a level three cold weather alert from the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA).

Newcastle is one of the worst hit areas in the region, with the likes of South Tyneside, Sunderland and more having a weather warning that expires at 10am on Wednesday, March 8.

The current weather warning for snow and ice in Newcastle will end today (March 8), with a second yellow snow weather warning beginning on Thursday, March 9 and ending a day later on Friday, March 10.

Snow isn’t forecast to hit the region until midnight on Thursday, March 9. The Met Office predict that snow will arrive just two more times. The white stuff is expected to fall again at 6pm on Thursday and 3am on Friday.
