Europe is set to face a cold snap this month, with potential snowfall in countries including Germany and Britain, raising gas demand as the heating season draws to a close.
Temperatures are expected to be below normal across much of the continent, with chances of snow early in the month, according to Maxar Technologies Inc., Atmospheric G2 and Marex. The late return of cold weather is due to so-called sudden stratospheric warming, which can cause extreme cold in the Northern Hemisphere.
