Britons are being warned to brace for a sharp drop in temperatures as new weather maps indicate an incoming cold snap set to bring snow and ice to several regions next week.
Where Will Snow and Ice Strike?
According to the latest meteorological data, northern England and Scotland are most at risk of snowfall, while icy conditions could extend as far south as the Midlands. The Met Office is closely monitoring the situation, with potential weather warnings likely to be issued in the coming days.
Timeline of the Cold Spell
- Early next week: Light snow showers expected in higher ground areas
- Midweek: Widespread frost and icy patches developing overnight
- Late week: Potential for heavier snowfall in northern regions
How Cold Will It Get?
Temperatures are forecast to plunge below freezing in many areas, with some rural locations possibly seeing lows of -5°C. Daytime temperatures will struggle to rise above 3-4°C in affected regions.
Travel Disruption Expected
Motorists are being advised to prepare for hazardous road conditions, particularly on untreated surfaces. Public transport services may also face delays in affected areas.
The cold spell comes as a stark contrast to recent milder conditions, serving as a reminder that winter hasn't quite released its grip on the UK yet.
