UK snow maps show blizzards as far south as Birmingham on Tuesday. Maps from WX Charts, which uses Met Desk data, shows a downturn in conditions on Tuesday, November 18, with temperatures plunging across the country.<\/p>\n

“Half” of England – from Birmingham<\/a> north – faces a dusting of snow in the cold weather front, with the West Midlands conurbation, Staffordshire<\/a>, Shropshire, Cumbria, Northumberland and Durham all affected.<\/p>\n

Yorkshire, Greater Manchester, Cheshire and Lancashire are also at risk from the snow, with the temperature levels ranging between -1C and 0C during the period, according to the weather maps and charts this week.<\/p>\n

The data is based off the GFS advanced modelling. Jo Farrow, from Netweather, said: “We have cold Arctic air coming down from the north this week.<\/p>\n

“It will cross the Norwegian Sea, bring plenty of moisture and snow is in the forecast, but not for everyone in the UK.<\/p>\n

“UK temperatures are well down into single figures by day and sub-zero by night with the risk of frost and icy patches.<\/p>\n

“Many places will be dry and sunny by day but those clear skies mean cold nights, especially when the chilly breeze drops out.<\/p>\n

“If you are looking for snow, it is mostly about the wind direction. The northerly flow will bring showers to northern Scotland, which is the first bit of land it encounters.<\/p>\n

“The Northern Isles, Caithness &Sutherland, Moray and northern Aberdeenshire into the Cairngorms will all be exposed to showers of rain, sleet and hail but increasingly to snow by midweek. Even to low levels.”<\/p>\n

A Met Office outlook for Tuesday (November 18) says: “A bright, frosty start for many in the south and east.<\/p>\n

“Outbreaks of rain further north and northwest extending southeast to most parts through the day, with snow and ice affecting some northern areas. Feeling cold in the breeze.”<\/p>\n

It adds: “Outbreaks of rain, with some snow, moving south and becoming confined to England and Wales overnight. Clearer, but with wintry showers, a widespread frost and some ice developing further north.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Maps from WX Charts, which uses Met Desk data, shows a downturn in conditions on Tuesday, November 18,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":577729,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7820],"tags":[855,2893,748,393,4884,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-577728","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-birmingham","8":"tag-birmingham","9":"tag-birmingham-snow","10":"tag-britain","11":"tag-england","12":"tag-great-britain","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115569266509847665","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/577728","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=577728"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/577728\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/577729"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=577728"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=577728"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=577728"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
