As much as 10cm of snow could fall in some of the worst-hit areas
The UK is braced for a new 546-mile wide Arctic bomb with snow sweeping across multiple parts of the UK next month.
The north west of England, coastal areas of Wales and much of Northern Ireland are also forecast to receive significant flurries. The snowfall from the Arctic Circle is looking likely to cover around 546 miles of land, with flurries reaching around 1cm per hour over the worst-hit areas, the Mirror reports.
Scotland is forecast to be blanketed in snow from midday on December 11 - 8cm is predicted to fall in one hour near Inverness. As much as 13cm per hour could fall in northern Scotland. “Across the south of the country, high pressure is signalled to be prevalent through the second half of December,” the forecast said. “Less settled weather is more likely at times though, especially across the north and west. This means wetter and windier spells are possible with a risk of some snow, especially across northern hills.
