UK Weather: Cold Snap on the Horizon – Will Snow Arrive This Week?
A cold snap is settling over the UK this week, bringing with it chilly temperatures and the possibility of snow in certain areas. After a mild start to the week, with temperatures climbing into the double digits thanks to a south-westerly wind, the situation is set to change. High pressure is taking hold, shifting the weather pattern and ushering in easterly winds that will bring cold air from continental Europe.
As the high pressure drifts across northern Europe, temperatures will dip, especially at night, which will likely bring widespread frosts. The days will still see some sunshine, which may make it feel a bit warmer than the actual temperature, but clear skies at night will lead to colder conditions. In some regions, mist and fog patches are expected to form, adding to the wintry feel.

While the snowstorm conditions of the past, such as the "Beast from the East" in 2018, are unlikely to repeat themselves, we could still see some light snow or sleet in places. High pressure will block out some of the milder Atlantic winds, but it won't be strong enough to bring Arctic air directly to the UK. As such, temperatures will likely remain just below average for this time of year, between 5-9°C (41-48°F) during the day. As the cold snap intensifies by Friday, it's expected that weak weather systems could bring some rain, sleet, or even light snow.
Currently, significant or disruptive snowfall is not anticipated, but a few flakes may make an appearance in some areas, with the possibility of a light dusting of snow. The main risk associated with this cold weather will be the risk of ice, which could cause disruption, particularly to travel conditions. Temperatures may fall below freezing at night, making roads slippery and hazardous.
This cold spell is not expected to last long, with weather models predicting that milder conditions could return by next week. However, the weather is unpredictable, and there's a chance the cold weather may stick around longer than expected, intensifying as it does. Keep an eye on weather updates for your local area, as the situation could change rapidly.
For now, it's clear that while the UK won’t be dealing with a repeat of the January snowstorms that led to widespread chaos, we will have to brace for colder temperatures, frosty nights, and the occasional snow flurry as the week progresses. Keep warm, and stay updated with the latest forecasts to ensure you're prepared for whatever this cold snap may bring.
