UK Snow Alert: Wintry Blast Hits This Weekend!

Wintry conditions are expected to affect several parts of the UK by the weekend, following a period of blustery weather. Met Office forecasts indicate snow over much of Scotland and England in the coming days, with predictions suggesting the most significant snowfall will occur on Friday morning.

These snowy conditions may persist in certain areas throughout Saturday and even into Sunday. While Wales and Northern Ireland are currently less likely to experience snow, predictions can change. The Met Office anticipates an unsettled weekend with brisk winds and persistent rain.

Looking further ahead into February, there is an increased likelihood of snow, especially in northern areas. This is due to a potential shift towards easterly winds, which could bring colder temperatures. Despite a largely unsettled pattern, particularly in the south, colder spells with a growing risk of snow are anticipated for the north.
