Rumours of the Beast from the East returning for a third time have been, mercifully, exaggerated. The weather over the Easter break is set to be colder than average and largely unsettled, but the only smatterings of snow are due over higher ground and will not be comparable to the last two extreme weather events. As Sky News weather presenter, Nazaneen Ghaffar, said: “It’s being dubbed as the Beast from the East Mark 3, but as with most trilogies, the third edition is never as good.”BBC meteorologist Simon King echoed that sentiment on Twitter, concluding: “Think the budget might be lower for the third instalment in the trilogy.”
