A weather map predicts another freeze is set to hit London next week. The map shows a wall of snow is headed toward the capital, according to forecasters at WX Charts.
It looks set to hit at about 3am on Monday (January 12). The snowfall is represented by purple shading on the map, so the darker the colouring, the heavier the blanketing of the white stuff.
WX Charts’ map, which has updates every three hours, shows the snow wall arriving from a westerly direction and then heading off in a northeasterly one.
The Met Office seems to disagree, forecasting just a cloudy day on Monday, with a fair chance of rain.

It comes as the entirety of Scotland has been hit with Yellow Weather warnings for snow and ice today (Wednesday, January 7). This means some roads and railways may be affected with longer journey times by road, bus and train services
There is also a risk for some injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces. There will also probably be some icy patches on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths. The upcoming London weather according to the BBC can be found below.
