Predictions suggest Britain could be set for its 'snowiest period of weather' since 2010
Just as the UK is starting to come out of the grips of sub zero temperatures, forecasters are yet again predicting a period of extremely cold weather. Long-range predictions even suggest Britain could be set for its 'snowiest period of weather' since 2010.
"We could now be looking at a lengthy cold period setting in for a number of weeks and the potential for some of the coldest and snowiest weather since December 2010."According to the Met Office, Nottingham is set to see a continuation of warmer temperatures, with highs of 10C on Christmas Day and the chance of plenty of sun on Boxing Day, although temperatures won't get above 6C.
Here is the UK long-range forecast for Monday, December 26, to Wednesday, January 4 Frequent wintry showers affecting northern areas on Monday, these becoming confined to the Northern Isles, where very windy too. Elsewhere, some sunshine, but an area of cloud and rain, with a small chance of snow on its northern edge may return from the south for a time.
Around the turn of the year, uncertainties in the forecast increase, but a ridge of high pressure may bring a quieter interlude for many with more widely colder conditions, overnight frost and crisp, sunny days. Some wintry showers are also possible, especially in coastal areas.
