With the UK now in the midst of winter as temperatures drop, the date snowfall can be expected has been announced my meteorologists.
Weather forecasters have predicted parts of the country could see the white stuff as early as next week as snow could return in the final week in January.
The weather has been reasonably settled so far with dry and sunny spells throughout the first month of 2022, although frosty mornings are becoming more common.
Met Office warn UK could see snow in January
As part of their long-term weather report, the Met Office has been trying to predict weather for late January and February.
Looking ahead from January 29 to mid-February, the Met Office said: "Temperatures are looking to be slightly above average, particularly in the north however some colder interludes remain likely, bringing a risk of occasional snow, most likely over northern hills."
The north of England and across the border in Scotland are expected to be worst effected although flurries could be seen further south.
A Netweather forecaster said: "It will probably be cold and dry, rather than cold and snowy, with more significant and widespread overnight frosts, and temperatures closer to freezing by day."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
