Brits are set to see snow next week with weather maps showing much of the country blanketed. The Met Office has issued yellow warnings about snow and ice that can be expected in 45 areas . A yellow weather warning has been put in place from Sunday until Tuesday, offering advice on how to stay safe.
Snow is largely expected in the north of England and in Scotland - these areas will be most heavily impacted. Much of southern Scotland and north-east England, parts of Yorkshire, and parts of north-west England, including Lancashire and Cumbria are included in these warnings. But new weather maps from WXCHARTS show the areas which may not see any snow at all on Monday and Tuesday - the days the Met Office warnings are in place.
A map for Monday at around 6pm shows the area below Birmingham, through London and down to the south coast that may escape snowfall, as could a part of Scotland to the east of Edinburgh and southern Wales. It's a similar story on Tuesday, with the map almost replicating what is shown 24 hours earlier, with the likes of London, Cardiff, Brighton and Southampton set to escape the snow. Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist Rebekah Hicks explains: "A notable early winter cold spell will arrive across the north from Sunday and will likely reach all parts of the UK by midweek.
"Temperatures will drop as a northerly airflow develops, bringing in colder Arctic air. This introduces the possibility of snow, initially over high ground in the north from Sunday, with gusty winds also a potential hazard. "As the cold air spreads south, wintry weather is possible more widely, and a snow and ice warning has already been issued for parts of Scotland and Northern England for early next week.
