Brace yourself! The UK is gearing up for a chilling -7C snowstorm this weekend
London: The UK is bracing for a serious cold snap. A snowstorm is on the way, and it’s not looking pretty. Weather maps show a “horror” -7C snow bomb hitting the country.
Winds could reach up to 80mph, according to the Met Office. It’s going to be wild! Snow is expected to blanket Wales on Sunday, January 26, with lows of -7C on Monday.
Jim Dale, a senior meteorologist, mentioned that Northern regions, Wales, and the Midlands will see snow this Saturday. Scotland will get hit hard, especially in higher areas.
But don’t worry too much; it won’t stick around. The south of the Midlands might not see any snow at all. The weather is changing quickly, so expect a mix of conditions.
Forecaster Jo Farrow warned that Friday will bring wet and windy weather, with snow in the northern hills. Strong winds will continue into Saturday.
Next week looks like a rollercoaster with a series of low pressures moving in. The jet stream is firing up, bringing a stark temperature contrast from North America.
On Thursday, a band of rain will sweep across the UK, with hill snow in the north. Expect windy conditions and heavy rain in the south on Friday morning.
By the afternoon, many will see some wintry sunshine. Saturday will continue to be windy with more rain and hill snow in various places.
