The Met Office has issued a warning about the possibility of widespread snow reaching low-lying areas in Wales. According to Wales Online, an Arctic blast is expected to hit the UK in the coming days, bringing with it the potential for disruptive weather conditions.
Forecasters are predicting a significant change in the weather pattern starting this weekend, following a period of calm due to high pressure. As winds shift to usher in colder Arctic air, the north of the UK will be the first to feel the impact, with Scotland experiencing the change over the weekend. By Sunday, low pressure will set in, leading to much colder and unsettled weather conditions.
Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist Rebekah Hicks has advised that a notable early winter cold spell is expected to arrive from Sunday, affecting all parts of the UK by midweek. As temperatures drop and a northerly airflow brings in colder air, the possibility of snowfall, initially over high ground in the north, increases. There is also a chance of more widespread and disruptive snowfall as the week progresses.
Hicks highlighted the uncertainty surrounding the weather forecast after Sunday, stating that various scenarios could bring widespread rain, hill snow, and stronger winds. While the potential for widespread snowfall in lower-lying areas exists, the likelihood for any specific region remains low at this stage. She emphasised the importance of staying updated with the latest weather forecasts, as wintry hazards, including snow and ice, are possible.
