Snow looks set to hit several cities including London as a blizzard from the East could bring several centimetres of the white stuff between Christmas Day and New Year\"UKSnow hitting East Anglia at midday on December 27(Image: WXCHARTS)<\/p>\n

Millions of Brits could soon see snow as weather maps suggest major cities are in the firing line.<\/p>\n

The GDPS weather<\/a> model shows blizzards moving across the UK from the East on December 27, primarily hitting southern and eastern regions at first. Norwich and Ipswich could both see snow<\/a> as East Anglia is hit by the initial flurries at around midday.<\/p>\n

By 3pm, the maps show snow falling in Kent as well as over London<\/a>. The weather front is also expected to bring rain along the east coasts of England and Scotland<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Maps for 6pm show snow still falling in London, as well as in regions further south. Southampton could be among the cities set to see some of the white stuff.<\/p>\n

Further north, Birmingham, Stoke-on-Trent and Manchester<\/a> could also see flurries around this time. Snow is expected to reach Northern Ireland<\/a> and Scotland too.<\/p>\n

Snow coverage maps reveal the full extent of this blizzard, with snow covering most of Northern Ireland, East Anglia, the Midlands, the south-east, and large swathes of northern England. Snow is expected in the Scottish Highlands, but could also hit Glasgow and regions closer to the border with England. As much as 3cm could settle in the south-east of England including London, the data suggests.<\/p>\n

The Met Office<\/a> expects temperatures to feel colder between now and the New Year<\/a>, with some “wintry showers” on the cards in places. Its forecast for December 23 to January 1 states: “A gradual transition to more settled conditions is expected, as high pressure builds to the north of the UK and low pressure eases away to the south.<\/p>\n

“This will bring a strengthening easterly wind over the Christmas<\/a> period, making it feel noticeably colder than of late. Whilst there will be a fair amount of dry weather, a few showers will still be possible, particularly across eastern and southern parts which may be wintry in places, more especially over high ground.<\/p>\n

“Temperatures will likely trend below average with the potential for frost, especially in the north where winds will be lighter. Towards New Year, high pressure may become centred more towards the west of the UK, allowing a greater chance of some wet weather to spread into parts of the UK.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Snow looks set to hit several cities including London as a blizzard from the East could bring several…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":641281,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7757],"tags":[748,35745,393,4884,257,1142,51245,1144,712,2462,16,15,1764,741],"class_list":{"0":"post-641280","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-london","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-christmas","10":"tag-england","11":"tag-great-britain","12":"tag-london","13":"tag-met-office","14":"tag-new-year","15":"tag-northern-ireland","16":"tag-scotland","17":"tag-snow","18":"tag-uk","19":"tag-united-kingdom","20":"tag-wales","21":"tag-weather"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115743509392684934","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/641280","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=641280"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/641280\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/641281"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=641280"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=641280"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=641280"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
