A new snow storm will hammer into parts of England, Wales and Scotland as the latest weather maps have turned a mix of white and blue indicating wet and snowy conditions.
The wintry storms are likely to hit on December 7, according to one forecaster, as it brings more freezing weather to many parts of the British Isles.
A giant snow bomb will cover the west of Scotland from the Highlands down to Dumfries and Galloway on Saturday, December 7 according to the new charts, while live maps also suggest a small dusting of snow around the Greater Manchester area, as well as in north Wales.
Weather maps from WXCharts suggest that layers of snow are likely to accumulate in Inverness, Edinburgh and Wick while other areas in England and Wales will be blasted by heavy rain
In England, areas such as Plymouth and Southampton may see rainfall upto 75-80mm while areas such as London, Birmingham and Cardiff may see 35-40mm, maps suggest.
Temperature levels are likely to oscillate between 0-1C in Scotland while 4-5C in England and Wales, as per the weather maps.
The extreme weather conditions come as the country battles through a series of snowy days followed by a number of storms.
Last week, Storm Bert caused travel disruptions across the parts of the UK with many residents stranded at home, while the third storm of the season – Storm Conall – is set to bring more weather chaos in the coming days.
The Met Office’s long-range forecast between December 1 and December 10 reads: “Starting mainly unsettled, with showers or longer spells of rain for many parts of the UK.
“It will also be quite windy, especially towards the north and west. It will be mild, although the strong winds will make it feel rather cold.
“High pressure then looks like building close to or over the UK through early December. This will result in drier but also probably generally slightly cooler conditions, and increase the risk of overnight frost and fog.
“The largely dry, settled theme is likely to be punctuated by brief unsettled and milder spells though, with areas of low pressure crossing the UK, bringing some spells of wind and rain.
“Temperatures overall generally near average, but rather cold where any fog persists.”
