A rare weather event is set to impact England on February 10, bringing freezing rain and icy conditions, especially in Liverpool and Manchester
UK: A rare weather event is on the way. It’s expected to hit on February 10. Cities like Liverpool and Manchester are at high risk for freezing rain.
Forecasts show that as we move into February, we might see snow and low temperatures. WX Charts and the Met Desk predict this chilly weather.
So, what’s freezing rain? It happens when snow or ice melts into rain but then freezes again as it hits cold surfaces. This creates a slippery layer of ice.
Snow is also expected in parts of Scotland, including Fort William and Glasgow. In England, areas like Newcastle and Liverpool will see similar conditions.
Sky News meteorologist Kirsty McCabe warns that this supercooled rain can freeze instantly on contact, creating a clear, invisible layer of ice. This makes roads and sidewalks very dangerous.
Looking ahead, the Met Office suggests a split in the weather across the UK. The north may face wet and windy conditions, while the south could be drier.
However, some rain is still likely in the south, along with brief dry spells in the north. Overall, temperatures should be close to average, but expect some colder spells too.
