Brits are set to be battered by another Arctic blast later this month with 10 cities likely to see snow flurries. Weather maps show that the snowy conditions across the country may be ending during the second half of the weekend after an icy spell where temperatures reached -17.3C in the Scottish Highlands on Friday.
Altnaharra, which is in the most northern region of the Highlands, saw the temperature shortly before 8pm, the Met Office said. It is the coldest January overnight temperature since 2010, when temperatures dropped below -15C several times at locations across the UK, including -22.3C on January 8 in Altnaharra.
And with the cold temperatures has come plenty of snow but looking ahead maps from WXCharts show that more flurries in January will be confined to parts of northern England and Scotland. Just 10 cities across the UK are set for more snow in January. Yorkshire will see snowfall on January 24, with cities such as Leeds, Wakefield, Ripon, Bradford, and York set to see around 2cm per hour from midday. However, the weather looks set to be brief, with weather maps from the following day showing little to no settled snow across the country.
Further north, cities such as Newcastle, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Inverness, and Stirling are also likely to experience a brief flurry of snow, which will be largely confined to central and western areas. The Met Office’s long-range forecast for the period is more tempered, as it predicts mild temperatures with wind and rain in some parts.
