The UK is preparing for another cold snap with temperatures predicted to drop to -5C later this month. Widespread snow flurries are expected, causing significant disruption. This follows a frigid start to January, with temperatures plunging to -18.9C in Scotland. While milder weather has brought some respite, forecasts indicate another cold spell with snow is imminent.
Brits are bracing for another -5C Arctic onslaught later this month, with widespread snow flurries expected to cause significant disruption. The nation is just recovering from an icy start to January, which saw temperatures plummet to -18.9C in Scotland on Saturday morning—the coldest January overnight temperature since 2010.
However, this respite is predicted to be short-lived as weather maps indicate another cold snap is on its way, with temperatures expected to drop to -5C in North West England on January 26. Wales and Scotland will also feel the chill at -4C. The Met Office has also suggested that this period could see an even colder spell, noting for January 20-29: "The early part of next week will see fairly quiet, and for most, dry weather with variable amounts of cloud and often light winds. The greatest chance of any rain is likely to be in the far northwest of the UK, and possibly as well in the far south.", reports the Mirror.
