The Met Office has pinpointed the areas set to encounter wintry conditions by the end of January.
Currently, Britain is facing heavy rain and strong winds, prompting yellow rain warnings in various regions. However, the Met Office predicts a shift to wintry weather in many parts of the country before February. Northwestern and southwestern areas are expected to witness snow showers tonight and tomorrow.
Yellow rain alerts are in effect for Northern Ireland and southwest England, with additional warnings for southwest England in anticipation of more rainfall next week, especially in flood-affected regions.
The National Weather Agency forecasts continued low pressure dominating the weekend, bringing rain or showers across Britain on Saturday. Conditions are expected to improve on Sunday with some areas experiencing drier and sunnier intervals.
Temperatures are projected to remain normal for the season in most regions, with colder weather persisting in the far northeast, heightening the risk of snow in elevated areas.
Met Office Deputy Chief Forecaster, Dan Holley, explained that a strong southward jet stream will steer low-pressure systems towards the UK, bringing rain, strong winds, and potential flooding. Hill snow is also likely in the north as colder air interacts with wet weather.
Meteorologist Nick Finnis from Netweather.tv highlighted the potential for further rain from the southwest next week, with heavier rain expected in the south and west. Eastern Scotland may experience significant rainfall, with snow possible on high ground in the north as cold air moves in from the east.
