Latest advanced weather models indicate an approaching snowstorm set to impact various UK cities, potentially including London.
According to the GFS weather model maps, snow is forecasted to move through Scotland on Tuesday afternoon, affecting Glasgow and Edinburgh before advancing southwards to northern England. The snow is then anticipated to progress further south into Northern Ireland, Wales, the Midlands, and potentially the south-east of England by Wednesday morning.
Snowfall projections for Wednesday afternoon show snow cover in London, Ipswich, Greater Manchester, Newcastle, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee, and Aberdeen, among other locations.
The widespread snowfall is expected to diminish by Thursday, although some flurries may persist in the North York Moors, the north-east of England, and the north-east of Scotland, as per the GFS weather model forecasts.
Data suggests that up to 18cm of snow could accumulate on high terrain in Scotland, with the Peninnes in England potentially receiving up to 9cm. Urban snow accumulations are likely to be minimal, possibly less than 1cm if it settles.
BBC Weather has predicted wintry showers in some areas throughout the upcoming week. Their forecast indicates showery rain transitioning to wintry conditions on Tuesday, especially in northern hilly regions.
Netweather forecaster Nick Finnis mentioned that Monday will be dry and sunny but chilly for most regions. However, Tuesday and early Wednesday are expected to bring showery rain, likely turning into sleet and snow over northern high ground as it clears.
The Met Office also warns of cold and snowy conditions. Deputy Chief Meteorologist Dan Holley explained that a cold northerly flow from the Arctic will result in much colder weather across the UK, with potential wintry hazards like snow and ice.
Temperatures could drop as low as -7C in some areas next week, with daytime temperatures remaining in single digits nationwide. The combination of cold temperatures and brisk northerly winds will create a significant wind chill effect, marking a notable shift from the recent above-average temperatures experienced.
