Met Office names UK areas where snow is forecast to fall in February | Weather | News

Snowy conditions are likely to make a return to the UK next week , the Met Office has predicted. According to the Met Office, the snow showers are expected to impact several towns and cities in the coming week. 

In its latest forecast, the Met Office set out what Brits can expect in February.

The Met Office’s long-range forecast between February 4 and 28 reads: « Frontal systems over the North Atlantic, steered by a south-shifted jet stream, are likely to approach the UK at times, but tending to stall as they encounter a blocking area of high pressure to the north and northeast.

« This will result in further spells of rain at times, falling in areas already sensitive to flooding. As these bands of rain spread northwards, some snow will be possible on high ground in northern England and Scotland as they encounter colder air.

« A subtle shift southwards of these areas of low pressure is anticipated during the second week of February, which may allow a greater chance of colder air to spread across northern UK at least, bringing an increased risk of wintry hazards for a time. »
