“Through the rest of the weekend and into the start of the following week, it is likely to turn colder as northerly winds begin to develop across of the UK and bring a risk of snow showers, particularly across the north.

“There is also a smaller risk of a period of snow across some southern areas for a time. Through the rest of this period confidence is low, but there is an increased chance of more unsettled conditions spreading from the west.”

The next long range forecast from the Met Office (January 22-February 5) says: “Through this period, there is an increased chance compared to normal of cold conditions along with the associated impacts from low temperatures, ice and snow.
