Speaking to Express.co.uk he said: " It’s a lottery in terms of where the export of freezing air actually goes. Freezing air out of the Arctic, e.g. the Troll from Trondheim could strike but time is beginning to run against it. There’s still five to six weeks where it still could happen." The Met Office's long-range weather forecast from February 3 to February 12 says northern parts of the UK will continue to experience unsettled weather conditions. Met Office forecaster Alex Deakin said: "The donut [sic] of strong winds at the Pole is the polar vortex. And there's a weakening of the Polar Vortex."
