UK: A snow storm is coming this weekend. Temperatures could drop to -4C. It’s all due to an icy blast from Scandinavia.
The UK Health and Security Agency warns of cold conditions. High pressure will settle over Scandinavia, affecting the UK. Expect dry weather, but temperatures will be low.
Snowfall is likely from Sunday, February 9. Exact locations are still uncertain. The cold weather may last longer than usual, raising health alert concerns.
The Met Office predicts high pressure northeast of the UK. This means cold easterly winds and possible snow. Most areas will be dry but cloudy at first.
As the week progresses, the chance of wintry showers increases. Sleet or snow may fall widely, but some sunshine will break through. Expect hard frosts and colder feels due to the wind.
On Thursday, the weather will be bright but foggy in places. Friday will start with fog, then stay dry and bright. Saturday may bring rain, sleet, and snow in the south before clearing up.
