UK Weather: Snowfall Looms as Flooding Risk Rises
31 Jan
Summary
- Future frontal systems are expected to approach the UK.
- A blocking high pressure area will impede storm movement.
- Snow is possible on high ground in northern England and Scotland.

The Met Office's long-range forecast for February 4 to February 28 indicates that frontal systems from the North Atlantic will approach the UK.
These systems, driven by a southerly jet stream, are expected to stall due to a blocking area of high pressure situated to the north and northeast.
Consequently, the UK will experience additional periods of rain, particularly in regions already vulnerable to flooding. As these rain bands progress northward, colder air will interact, making snowfall possible on elevated areas in northern England and Scotland.
