UK weather maps reveal the 67 counties that will get hammered by snow on Monday.
WXCharts has forecast that much of the UK will be hit with snow tomorrow (January 6), bringing with it rain and low temperatures.
The snow will hit across all of Scotland (Wick, Aberdeen, Inverness, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dumfries), much of Wales (Cardiff, Conwy, Aberystwyth) and Northern Ireland (Derry, Belfast).
It will also fall in England (Newcastle, Carlisle, Liverpool, Manchester, Sheffield, Birmingham, Oxford, Bath, Reading), avoiding East Anglia, the southeast, London and the southwest.
Rain will follow, sweeping across the UK behind the snow, hitting much the southwest (Plymouth, Exeter) and East Anglia (Norwich, Ipswich).
The Met Office said of this period there will be unsettled weather on Sunday with “further snow across the north.”
They added that snow will be “returning to parts of England and Wales by Monday morning.”
Meanwhile, between Tuesday and Thursday, the service says that there will be “will be cold with a mixture of sunny spells and wintry showers.”
The Met Office concluded: “A more prolonged period of snow in the south possible on Wednesday.”
A cold, frosty and mostly fine start to Friday, perhaps with a few freezing fog patches. However, a band of cloud and rain will edge into the west later, this possibly preceded by some sleet or snow, and likely accompanied by some strong winds.
This will tend to decay in situ though. Through the weekend and beyond, high pressure is likely to develop close to the UK, with generally settled conditions prevailing through mid-month.
That said, there are likely to be some incursions of milder, windier, more unsettled conditions from the Atlantic at times, especially towards the north and west of the UK. These may be preceded by a spell of snow over higher ground and followed by some wintry showers.
