The UK is bracing for more wintry conditions as the current warm weather comes to an end within the next fortnight. New weather maps from WXCHARTS, which uses MetDesk data, have revealed a period of snow on April 13 that will stretch from Scotland to North England. By midnight, the snow will extend from Inverness in Northeast Scotland to Blackburn in Lancashire, North West England.
There will also be other localised patches of the snow in the Scottish Highlands near the north west coast and North Yorkshire near the coast. The worst-affected areas in Scotland will include Cairngorms National Park, the Southern Uplands, and the Loch Lomand area, where levels will be around 1cm.
England will also see similar amounts of snow in Carlisle, Northumberland, and the Yorkshire Dales.
By 6am on April 13, the snow will persist, extending further south towards Manchester and into areas of North Wales, such as Bangor and Snowdonia.
The snow will also fall at roughly the same rate, leading to accumulations of around 1cm in Scotland and North West England.
In total throughout the day, five major cities will be affected: Inverness, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Manchester, and Liverpool.
Separately, the Met Office long range forecast for April 5-14 reads: “High pressure will tend to dominate through this period, often centred to the north or northeast of the UK, maintaining largely settled conditions for much of the time.
“This should result in lengthy spells of dry and bright weather, but with a risk of patchy overnight frosts where winds fall light. There is also the chance of some areas of low cloud or fog, especially around some coasts.
“Later in the period, it may turn more unsettled at times as rain or showers try and push in from the west. It will be breezy at times, especially in the southwest early on.
“Daytime temperatures will tend to fluctuate depending on the wind direction and cloud amounts, with the potential for warm conditions at times but also cooler interludes.”
