Met Office snow maps show exactly where and when it will fall in Wales next week

With snow expected in parts of Wales next week, the Met Office has published maps of exactly where we can expect it to fall. The weather has been turning much colder in recent days, and forecasters have told us that it will get colder still over the next week. The Met Office has forecasted that snow will hit parts of Wales in the middle of next week, while BBC weatherman Matt Taylor also said there will be “colder Arctic air from Tuesday onwards”.

According to the Met Office’s precipitation maps, snow will fall in Wales across three days next week - Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

The maps show that snow is likely to fall in south, mid and north Wales from Tuesday afternoon, including in areas north of Swansea and the rural areas around Llandovery.



Builth Wells could also see snow, as well as parts of north Wales including Bala and Caernarfon. By later on Wednesday night snow is expected to be more widespread, affecting a larger part of east and mid Wales. The maps show snow continuing to fall overnight into Wednesday morning, with parts of Merthyr Tydfil covered in white or grey which indicates likely snow fall.

It will then ease up for most of Wednesday before more snow is expected again later in the evening. On Thursday south Wales will remain largely snow free but those living in mid and north Wales could continue to see patches overnight into Thursday morning. Elsewhere in the UK, the Met Office has issued three separate yellow weather warnings for snow and ice in the coming days, affecting the north of Scotland and the north of England on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.
