The \u201cBeast from the East\u201d was a major cold wave and severe winter weather event that affected the UK, Ireland, and much of continental Europe in late February and early March 2018.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is also known by the official meteorological designation Anticyclone Hartmut<\/strong>. The nickname \u201cBeast from the East\u201d <\/strong>(used by media and the public) referred to the bitterly cold easterly\/northeasterly winds that transported Arctic and Siberian air masses across Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Causes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The event was triggered by a Sudden Stratospheric Warming (SSW)<\/strong> in the Arctic around 10-12 February 2018. This disrupted the polar vortex, leading to a high- pressure blocking anticyclone over Scandinavia. The resulting flow pattern reversed the usual mild westerly winds, drawing in very cold continental air from Siberia and Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As this cold, dry air moved over the relatively warmer North Sea, it produced widespread lake- effect <\/strong>(or sea-effect) snow showers, especially across eastern and northern parts of the UK and Ireland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around 1- 2 March, it collided with Storm Emma <\/strong>(a low- pressure system moving north from the Atlantic\/continent), intensifying snowfall, winds, and disruption, particularly in southern and western areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Impacts<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Temperatures:<\/strong> Widely sub- zero by day; overnight lows around \u201310\u00b0C to \u201312\u00b0C in rural UK areas (feels- like temperatures lower due to strong winds). Some of the coldest late- February and early- March conditions in decades. A record low March maximum of \u20134.7\u00b0C was set in parts of Wales.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Snow: <\/strong>Widespread accumulations of 5- 20 cm, with 40- 50 and more cm in higher or exposed areas (e.g., parts of Scotland, northern England, south Wales, and southwest England). Blizzards and deep drifts occurred in places.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Disruption:<\/strong> Hundreds of schools closed; major travel chaos on roads, rail (some trains stranded for hours), and airports (flights cancelled); power cuts; some communities isolated.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Water supplies:<\/strong> Rapid thaw after the freeze caused widespread pipe bursts; over 200,000 customers in England and Wales lost supply for more than four hours (tens of thousands for longer).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Casualties:<\/strong> At least 10- 17 weather- related deaths in the UK (including road accidents, falls, and exposure); dozens more across Europe (especially Poland and other eastern and central countries).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Economic:<\/strong> Significant costs (estimates around \u00a31 billion and more in the UK); impacts on retail, deliveries, energy demand, and construction.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    A weaker follow- up cold spell around 17- 18 March was nicknamed the \u201cMini Beast from the East\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The event highlighted vulnerabilities in infrastructure (especially water networks after the thaw) and linked extreme mid- latitude cold outbreaks to polar vortex disruptions, which some researchers connect to broader Arctic changes. It remains one of the most memorable UK winter weather events of recent decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Here\u2019s a clear comparison of the 2018 \u201cBeast from the East\u201d with the main comparable 2021 event and the situation in 2024.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Overview of the Events<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Key Takeaways<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • 2018<\/strong> remains the standout event, the original and most severe \u201cBeast from the East\u201d.<\/strong> It combined extreme cold<\/strong> from a true Siberian air mass, widespread heavy snow<\/strong> (enhanced by sea- effect showers and Storm Emma), and major nationwide impacts including infrastructure failures after the thaw.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 2021<\/strong> was a genuine \u201cBeast from the East 2\u201d<\/strong> (media and some forecasters used the name). It produced the coldest conditions since 2018<\/strong> (with a notable absolute low temperature record for the period) and disruptive snow, especially in the east. However, the air mass was not quite as cold, the event was shorter, and impacts were more regional rather than nationwide.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 2024<\/strong> had no true equivalent. Cold snaps and snow occurred<\/strong> (notably a significant November event), and media frequently hyped potential \u201cBeast from the East\u201d returns based on forecast charts and possible SSW activity. None matched the intensity, duration, or disruption of 2018 or even 2021. The term is often applied loosely by the media to any cold easterly spell.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      In short: 2018 > 2021 >> 2024 in terms of severity and national impact for these types of easterly cold outbreaks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The Met Office and meteorologists generally reserve strong \u201cBeast from the East\u201d comparisons for events involving prolonged polar continental air with significant snow and sub- zero conditions<\/strong> across large parts of the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
