Weather forecasters have predicted when snow will fall across Birmingham ahead of a ‘multi-hazard event’ later this week.

There will be an ‘increasing risk’ of heavy rain, sleet and snow on Thursday and Friday this week with strong winds also on the way.
A yellow weather warning for ice is in place with Brits warned of travel disruption and risk from falls.
A statement on the Met Office website says: “UKHSA Amber cold weather health alerts are in place for all regions of England until 11 January.
“A number of severe weather warnings remain in place, with cold air leading to the potential for further snow accumulations in Scotland, and a widespread risk of ice across much of the UK.
“Amber warnings are in place for snow in northern Scotland until 19:00. A yellow warning for snow and ice then follows for the whole of Wednesday.
“New yellow warnings for ice have been issued for Northern Ireland, Scotland, and much of England and Wales for overnight Tuesday into Wednesday morning.”
Met Office Chief Forecaster Jason Kelly said: “A further spell of snow is expected to move east across central and northern Scotland today. Amber warnings are in place until 7pm this evening.
“Elsewhere, snow showers will be mixed with rain and sleet and it will be another very cold day, with strengthening winds too.
“Overnight, cold air pushes back in with temperatures widely dipping below freezing again. This means there is the risk of further ice overnight and a new yellow weather warnings for ice covers the majority of the UK until Wednesday morning.”
