Despite warnings of snow and ice, Glasgow has largely avoided the worst of the recent weather. However, icy conditions persist, and nearby areas have seen snowfall. The Met Office provides updates on the possibility of snow in Glasgow this week and beyond.
Some of you may have been watching your weather app all weekend waiting for it to snow - and given recent headlines, we can’t blame you. After a week of Met Office warnings predicting snow and ice, Glasgow hasn’t seen much of the white stuff - despite widespread weather disruption across the UK, from flurries up north to school closures south of the border.
The city has however faced icy conditions underfoot and on roads, and there has been snowfall in the surrounding commuter belt, including Lanarkshire. But will it actually snow in Glasgow any time soon? Here’s what the Met Office has to say, for this week and the long-range forecast ahead… Are there more weather warnings this week? There are yellow alerts in place today (Monday), Tuesday and Wednesday, with Scotland affected the first two days (January 6-7). This alert skirts around Glasgow but does take in the west coast - so take care if you’re travelling to and from Ayrshire. The warning, in place from 4pm today until midday tomorrow (Tues) reads: “Further wintry showers may lead to some travel disruption. Snow showers will continue for the rest of Monday and into Tuesday morning bringing further accumulations of 2 to 5cm in places, and 5 to 10 cm above 200 metres across northern Scotland. Showers will initially fall as rain or sleet at lower levels this evening, and across the Northern Isles at times throughout, leading to a risk of icy stretches.” In short, Glasgow looks set to miss out on the worst of it again, but severe weather is expected elsewhere. How long will the cold snap last? It’s January, and cold weather isn’t exactly a surprise at this time of year - but if you’re feeling particularly chilly these last few days then we don’t blame you - temperatures are struggling to rise above 3°C in Glasgow and the Met Office says it feels more like -2 to 0 at best. The next few days are predicted to be bright and sunny but very cold, with lows of -3 by Thursday (Jan 9
