Summary

Weather forecasts indicate continued rainfall into next week, prompting a yellow warning for rain in southwest England and parts of south Wales on Monday. Subsequently, new maps suggest a potential for snow across East Anglia by Tuesday, February 17, with temperatures potentially dropping to -5C in northern Scotland on the same day.
The Met Office's long-range forecast for February 12 to February 21 highlights the "likelihood of some snow." While predominantly cyclonic patterns are expected to dominate, leading to generally unsettled weather with spells of rain and potential strong winds, there may be brief respites from wet conditions in the south.
As the period progresses, Atlantic depressions might shift northward, maintaining broadly unsettled conditions. While many areas could experience milder temperatures due to a westerly influence, the northeast may continue to see colder conditions linger.
