The Met Office has issued a new weather warning for snow and ice this weekend with a yellow alert in place for parts of Scotland, Northern Ireland and the North of England
Get ready for a winter wonderland, as parts of the UK are set to experience snowfall starting this weekend. Weather experts have signalled a "major change" with an "early winter cold spell" and potential "disruptive" conditions that may trigger weather warnings. The Met Office's latest predictions reveal a five-day outlook on where and what type of precipitation we can expect.
Later, at around 3pm, a chilly mix of showers may sweep over southern Scotland, bringing potential snow to Strathyre and Stirling, while Glasgow and Edinburgh could face hail and icy rain. Greater Manchester and the North West are set to face heavy rain, while Penrith, Kendal in Cumbria, and Lancaster in Lancashire might see snow on Monday morning and afternoon. The areas around Burnley could experience some snowfall by Monday evening.
Most of Wales, including Swansea and Cardiff, should brace for impact by Wednesday's early hours, as per the current forecast. The Met Office has issued a statement: "Cold or very cold conditions are likely to affect most if not all parts of the UK early in this period, with wintry showers affecting in particular northern parts and exposed coastal districts."
