Next week is expected to see a three-day snowfall in major cities, as per advanced weather forecasting maps. Snow is predicted to start falling from early Wednesday through Friday in cities like London and Manchester. The Met Office has also indicated a likelihood of snow next week.
The ECMWF weather model suggests snowfall in western parts of Scotland, England, and Wales on Wednesday, with heaviest snow in Scotland at a rate of around four inches per hour initially. By midday Wednesday, snow is forecasted to reach southern parts of England, north of London, and around Gloucestershire, with potential snow in Northern Ireland.
Snow accumulation estimates for Wednesday include up to 9cm in Scotland, 6cm in Wales, 3cm in southwest England, and 2cm in northern England and Northern Ireland. Sporadic snow showers are expected on Thursday, while Friday may see a band of snow moving across the UK, with projections of up to 12cm settling in Scotland and possibly reaching as far south as Stoke-on-Trent.
The Met Office has mentioned the possibility of snow in various locations next week, stating a shift to a more mobile Atlantic pattern with rain spreading into northern and western areas on Monday and Tuesday, potentially turning to snow over Scottish mountains. Showers, some heavy and wintry over higher ground, are expected by midweek, with the chance of snow even at lower levels in the north later in the day.
BBC Weather also supports this outlook, forecasting wet and windy spells with heavy rain in northern and western regions, interspersed with scattered wintry showers over higher ground, particularly in the northern half of the UK.
