The UK is bracing for a renewed period of wintry conditions as a 220-mile wall of snow and rain sweeps in from Birmingham to Cornwall.
New maps by WXCHARTS, which uses MetDesk data, have revealed a front of bad weather that will batter the country next week from January 29 to 30.
On January 29, dustings of snow will stretch from Birmingham to Cardiff, reaching levels between 0.2-1cm/hr.
This also coincides with rainfall in the surrounding areas of the Southeast and Southwest, where showers will reach up to 3mm/hr.
The unsettled conditions will continue into January 30, as the weather front appears to be moving east.
By the early hours of Thursday morning, the patches of snow will have moved to London and Cambridgeshire, where it’ll be between 0.2-1cm/hr.
The rain will also move in the same direction, affecting only areas along the south and east coasts. In areas like Kent and Norfolk, rainfall is expected to be around 0.2-1.5mm/hr.
Separately, the Met Office has issued a yellow wind warning for January 28. Gales are expected to bring “some disruption,” particularly in coastal areas. The alert covers East England, South East England, South West England, and Wales.
It reads: “It’s likely that some coastal routes, sea fronts and coastal communities will be affected by spray and/or large waves. Some delays to road, rail, air and ferry transport are likely.
“Some short-term loss of power and other services is possible. Delays for high-sided vehicles on exposed routes and bridges likely.”
The agency’s forecast for January 28-30 reads: “Remaining wet and windy on Tuesday, and also in the south on Wednesday. Becoming more settled for all by Thursday. Temperatures near the seasonal average, but chilly at night.”
