UK Snow Alert: Blizzard May Hit Britain Soon
7 Feb
Summary
- Weather maps predict up to 13 inches of snow across the UK.
- Snowfall is expected to hit the UK starting February 13.
- High pressure is currently blocking milder weather from reaching the UK.
Forecasting models suggest a substantial blizzard could impact most of Britain, with potential snowfall reaching up to 13 inches in certain locations. This widespread snow event is anticipated to commence on February 13, extending over 600 miles from northern Scotland to southern England.
The heaviest snowfall is predicted for North Yorkshire and surrounding areas on February 13. Northern Ireland may also experience light snowfall. The Met Office's long-range forecast for February 11-20 indicates a possibility of snow across parts of the UK due to expected cold conditions.
Currently, the UK is experiencing persistent rain and showers. This gloomy weather is expected to continue as a large high-pressure system situated north and east of the country is preventing low-pressure systems from moving through. The jet stream's southerly position is also contributing to wet weather in Spain and Portugal.
