UK Coasts Brace for Snow: Inland Areas Stay Dry
19 Nov
Summary
- Wintry showers continue on UK coasts, with up to 7cm snow reported.
- Inland areas will be brighter and drier, Met Office forecasts.
- Cold Arctic air is firmly in charge, bringing early winter hazards.
Coastal regions of the UK are currently experiencing wintry conditions, with accumulations of up to 7cm of snow reported in some areas. The Met Office indicates that while the coasts will see continued wintry showers, central inland areas are likely to remain brighter and drier. These conditions are a result of cold Arctic air having a firm grip on the UK's weather.
Specific locations like the Scottish Highlands and parts of northeast England have seen significant snowfall. The Met Office has issued several yellow warnings for ice and snow, which are expected to remain in effect for the upcoming days, covering various parts of Northern Ireland, Wales, England, and Scotland.
Forecasters anticipate that winter hazards, particularly snow and ice, will persist. The coldest weather is predicted for Wednesday and Thursday, with potential accumulations of 2-5cm in areas exposed to brisk northerly winds. Higher grounds in Scotland and certain areas in the North York Moors could see substantially more snow.
