UK Snow Forecast: Discover When and Where It Will Hit
The cold season is gripping the UK, with frigid air flowing from Scandinavia. This shift in weather is bringing significant winter conditions, including snow warnings for various regions.
UK Snow Forecast: When and Where It Will Hit
As the week progresses, eastern and northeastern Scotland are already under yellow snow and ice warnings issued by the Met Office. These warnings will take effect on Tuesday night, highlighting the potential for accumulating snow.
Regions Affected by Snow
- Northern Wales
- The Pennines
- Scotland (particularly hills above 100m)
- North West England
- Yorkshire
- The Midlands
Northeastern Scotland is expected to receive the most snowfall, with projections indicating a few centimeters on the hills.
Understanding Temperature Variations
Snow forecasting can be complex due to slight temperature variations. The Met Office notes that even minor temperature shifts can determine whether precipitation falls as rain, sleet, or snow. Nighttime temperatures in rural Scotland may plunge to as low as -5°C, while daytime highs in the north are predicted to be around 1-3°C.
Areas with existing snow cover may experience temperatures that struggle to rise above freezing during the day.
Widespread Cold Snap
While temperatures will dive across most of the UK, the southern third may continue to experience persistent rainfall. This is due to rain-bearing frontal systems being stalled by a high-pressure area to the northeast, causing complications in flood recovery efforts for many southern regions.
Forecast Duration
Current predictions suggest that the cold air will linger into the early part of next week. Afterward, signs indicate a transition to a milder westerly airflow might occur, leading to a potential alleviation of the extreme cold.
