UK weather: Arctic cold snap to bring more sleet and snow as temperatures plunge
An Arctic blast intensifying across the UK is set to bring more sleet and snow to parts of southern England and south Wales on Wednesday and Thursday
The Met Office’s early morning radar showed an area of rain moving in from the south and west which was starting to turn increasingly to sleet and snow as it pushed north and east. Scattered snow and hail showers are also set to impact Scotland’s northern coasts.
The forecasting body’s chief meteorologist, Matthew Lehnert, said the weather could cut off rural communities in the north and impact travel over the next few days across southern England and south Wales.
Several national severe warnings for snow and ice have been issued, with the Met Office saying further warnings, or updates to the current warnings, are “very likely”.
