The final days of January are going to be far from dry, with snow and ice being forecast for millions of Brits, according to an online forecaster.

Radar from WX Charts shows a 357-mile strip of Britain that appears set to be hit by frosty conditions this week.

As well as inclement weather today, people living in the north-west of England, the north-east of England, the Scottish Borders, the Central Belt, the Highlands, and the north-east of Scotland, could see flurries on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday this week.

On January 28, residents of Stoke-on-Trent all the way up to Ullapool in north-eastern Scotland are in line for wintery weather. After that, the area impacted should shrink as the flurries move north.

As well as northern areas of England, and Scotland, a small patch of southern England may also suffer an icy blast.

An area between Plymouth and Exeter in Devon may be in for freezing weather from January 29 into January 30.

However, the Met Office does not share WX Charts’ prediction, instead forecasting temperatures above 5C.

Today:

Showers or longer spells of rain across most areas. Showers turning heavy at times in the south with a chance of thunder, plus hill snow in the north. Strong, gale-force winds continuing in the south, and temperatures around average.

Tonight:

Showers and longer spells of rain continue overnight. Gales in the southwest slowly easing, but winds picking up in the far north. A patchy frost forming in the northwest.

Tuesday:

Further heavy showers in the south with a risk of thunder. Longer spells of rain in the northwest, but easing later. Strong winds at first, and temperatures around average.

Outlook for Wednesday to Friday:

Remaining wet and windy in the south on Wednesday. Becoming more settled for all on Thursday and Friday. Temperatures near the seasonal average, but chilly at night.
