UK weather forecast: Snow warning as arctic chill and snow bomb to sweep Britain

Friday, December 24, 2021

The Brits have been told to brace for an icy -1C freeze as temperatures drop just days before Christmas – as weather warnings for snow are part in place.

The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for snow and ice in Scotland and parts of the north of England, which is in force from 3 pm today until 11 am on Christmas Eve.

One forecaster says that if a particular weather system shapes up in the days to come, some areas could record a whopping 10 inches of snow on the big day, starting from early morning in many places.

Meanwhile, forecasters have predicted the exact date Brits will see snow this month – with blizzards and biting winds blasting in some parts of the country.b Brian Gaze of The Weather Outlook has said it may well be a very white Christmas after all, and it’ll be an “all-time classic” for snow fans.

The charts show temperatures as low as -6C in parts of Scotland, while snow would fall across much of the country – including in the south.

Saturday will stay cloudy for many, with rain for most, especially in England and Northern Ireland.

A band of rain will move in on Saturday night, becoming heavy at times. Moderate winds. Cloudy and wet on Sunday with rain, but snow for Scotland, moving away by the evening. Cloudy with gentle winds.
