Charts from forecaster WXCHARTS indicate that, at midnight, southern England and upwards towards the Midlands will remain largely dry. Nottingham, Stoke-on-Trent, Manchester, Blackpool and Hull will experience snow. A small area of snow will appear in Cairngorms National Park. By 6am, charts transform icy blue as bitter temperatures sweep across the country.

Limited areas will register temperatures above -1C with the coldest spot being in Cairngorms National Park at -5C, reports the Express. At 6pm, snow will extend across Scotland, with up to 10cm of snow accumulating on the ground in Scotland.
Northern Ireland won’t experience any snow but a small section of North Wales will. Regarding England, snow will be confined to the north, with Hull and Yorkshire set to receive the heaviest snowfall.
Meanwhile, a Met Office forecast states: “Quite changeable as Atlantic frontal systems track near or across the UK at times, bringing spells of rain or showers, typically heaviest and most frequent over western areas, but interspersed with drier interludes. Some spells of strong winds will be possible at times too, again more especially in western parts.
“With a flow generally from the North Atlantic, temperatures will likely be near or above average for much of this period, though a trend towards something a little cooler is possible for a time around the change of the month. Later in the period there may be a trend towards slightly drier conditions in the southeast, whilst it remains wet times in the northwest, but confidence in this aspect is rather low.”
