Multiple weather models indicate that the UK could experience substantial snowfall next month, with forecasts suggesting as much as 20 inches of snow. Advanced modeling maps show that snow is expected to begin falling on February 11, potentially affecting almost all of England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. Initial snow is predicted for cities like Manchester and Glasgow, with flurries expected to spread nationwide.
Heavy snow could impact southern England, including London and Bristol, by February 12. A second weather front is anticipated on February 13, bringing intense snow to Northern Ireland and Wales initially, before moving eastward across the country. A third blizzard could follow on February 14, impacting major cities like London again.
By the end of this four-day period, most of the country may see snow. Snow depth charts suggest the Scottish Highlands could receive up to 52cm (20 inches), with significant amounts also possible in north-west and central England, Northern Ireland, and Wales. The Met Office also anticipates wintry hazards in February, particularly on higher ground in northern areas.
