WXCHARTS has predicted snow will fall from Cape Wrath in northern Scotland to Hereford, starting next Tuesday, with parts of the Scottish Highlands forecast to get up to 97cm (38 inches)
Britain is preparing for more wintry weather in the coming days as numerous cities across the country are predicted to see snowfall.
New maps from WXCHARTS, utilising MetDesk data, forecast up to a whopping 97cm of snow for certain parts of the UK. Starting next Tuesday, less than a week away, snow is expected to fall from Cape Wrath in northern Scotland down to Hereford in the Midlands.
Scotland will bear the brunt of the conditions, with parts of the Highlands receiving up to 97cm, and surrounding areas seeing up to 12cm. England should fare slightly better, with an average of just 2cm across the country, leaving much of the east and south untouched.
In a separate forecast for February 15 to 24, the Met Office states: “Showers or longer spells of rain are expected as Atlantic low pressure systems dominate in the vicinity of the UK.
“Some heavy rain is likely in places, probably focussed on western hills, with some snow at times in the north, mainly on high ground. Strong winds are possible at times, especially around coasts. Temperatures will probably be near normal. Later in the period, there is a chance that drier, more settled conditions may begin to develop.”

The Express reports weather warnings are in place already for this week as snow is expected to fall as far south as Derbyshire. However, the worst of the weather is anticipated next week with the heaviest snowfall.
Cities across the UK, from likes of Perth and Stirling in Scotland, to Hereford and Birmingham in the Midlands, are expected to experience snowfall next week.
It comes after heavy and prolonged rainfall. The UK has, in fact, endured a record-breaking 42 consecutive days of rainfall with forecasters warning the gloomy conditions will continue for several more weeks to come.
Low-pressure weather systems stalling across the UK have been blamed for seemingly endless rainfall. The consistent rain is more commonly known as a “blocked” weather system.
