UK Braces for Snow, Rain, and Fierce Winds
30 Jan
Summary
- Snow expected Friday as rain turns wintry over northern hills.
- Severe weather brings heavy rain and strong winds nationwide.
- Ongoing flooding continues as showers become heavy rain.
As of Friday, snow is forecast to return to the UK, beginning as rain that transitions to snow over northern hills. This development coincides with severe weather sweeping across the nation, bringing heavy rain and strong winds.
Conditions will remain chilly, with persistent rain and snow over the hills in north-east Scotland. Colder air is expected to maintain wintry hazards on higher ground in northern regions of the UK. Showers in the far south-west will be replaced by heavy rain by midday, spreading eastwards and contributing to existing flooding.
This worsening weather follows a cloudy and unsettled day. Some areas experienced fog that was slow to clear this morning, with the Met Office advising caution for travelers. This fog is expected to become confined to higher ground as the day progresses.
