UK Weather Alert: Snow Threatens Two Regions!
20 Jan
Summary
- Two UK regions face snow risk as temperatures drop below freezing.
- A weather 'battleground' is forming between Atlantic storms and high pressure.
- Colder conditions may bring snow, especially to hills in Scotland and England.
The UK is poised for a significant weather shift, with the Met Office forecasting a 'battleground' of conflicting weather systems. Atlantic storms pushing from the west are set to meet high pressure from the north and northeast, creating a period of intense weather.
This meteorological standoff is expected to bring repeated spells of rain and heavy showers, primarily affecting southern and western parts of the country. Drier interludes are more likely in the far north and northwest.
As the period progresses, a notable drop in temperatures is anticipated. This will increase the risk of snow, particularly over the higher grounds of Scotland and northern England, with icy conditions also a possibility. Travel disruption due to snow and ice is a potential consequence.
