Temperatures could plummet again across the UK towards the end of the month, increasing the likelihood of snow, forecasters have warned.<\/p>\n

It comes as the Met Office said this weekend, temperatures will be mostly average, with showers on Saturday and temperatures ranging from 6C to 10C.<\/p>\n

Met Office meteorologist Honor Criswick said that Sunday would be a “very cloudy and grey day” with dense fog, and rain moving in as the day progressed.<\/p>\n

“Spells of rain eventually pushing into southern England and Wales, pushing northwards through the day, this could turn a little bit heavy at times,” she said.<\/p>\n

Though southeast England, northwest Scotland, and Northern Ireland would see some bright spells, temperatures would be lower overall, between 2C to 6C.<\/p>\n

But conditions could turn later in the month, increasing the “chance of snow across parts of the country”.<\/p>\n

The Met Office said that from next Thursday, the UK will see a “battle between Atlantic weather systems attempting to arrive from the west while high pressure and colder conditions attempt to exert some influence from the east”.<\/p>\n

“Later in the period, there is an increased chance that conditions will turn colder,” the Met Office said.<\/p>\n

“This aspect of the forecast is still somewhat uncertain but the potential transition to colder weather also increases the chance of snow across parts of the country.”<\/p>\n

Britons can also expect an increase chance of cold conditions in February and the “associated risk of wintry hazards at times”.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, the UK was battered by Storm Goretti<\/a><\/strong>, described as a “multi-hazard event” by the Met Office, which brought gusts of almost 100mph and a rare red warning for “dangerous, stormy” winds in the southwest of England.<\/p>\n

The conditions caused flights to be cancelled, trains disrupted and hundreds of schools closed due to the wintry weather.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Temperatures could plummet again across the UK towards the end of the month, increasing the likelihood of snow,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":702316,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,4],"tags":[748,393,4884,1144,712,16,15,1764],"class_list":{"0":"post-702315","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-uk","8":"category-united-kingdom","9":"tag-britain","10":"tag-england","11":"tag-great-britain","12":"tag-northern-ireland","13":"tag-scotland","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom","16":"tag-wales"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115911041058656778","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/702315","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=702315"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/702315\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/702316"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=702315"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=702315"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=702315"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
