Birmingham, Manchester, Newcastle and Cardiff could see several centimetres of snow fall per hour at midday on December 17, while the white stuff may even reach as far south as Southampton
Virtually all of Britain is expected to be blanketed in snow, with numerous cities across the country predicted to be heavily affected, according to the latest weather forecasts. Weather maps produced by WX Charts indicate that Birmingham, Manchester, Newcastle, and Cardiff may experience several centimetres of snowfall per hour by midday on December 17.
In the days leading up to December 17, parts of the UK may experience a mix of rain, sleet, and snow, but the snowfall is expected to reach its peak by that date. The far southwest of England appears to be the only region that may escape the snow, assuming the weather maps prove accurate this far in advance.
The Met Office notes, "Some of the showers could be wintry, especially on high ground. Later in the month, there are signals higher pressure may become re-established, with more settled conditions likely to develop, particularly across the south.", reports the Express. Netweather's monthly weather forecast suggests that snow is a possibility, especially in the north and when frontal systems push into colder air. The Met Office's five-day UK weather forecast indicates that cloud and rain will spread south today, with colder air sweeping across the nation.
