Blizzards Expected to Reach London as UK Faces -8°C Temperatures
# Snow forecast maps show blizzards hitting as far south as London with -8C freeze
Weather maps indicate that the UK is bracing for significant snowfall, with forecasts predicting blizzards reaching even London. The adverse weather conditions are expected to coincide with plunging temperatures, which could dip to -8°C.
Experts report that “an area of low pressure moves through the North Sea at first, which leads to rain and showers spreading south across the UK,” according to a Met Office forecast. Following this, the weather is predicted to shift to a different pattern, with “high pressure likely centred to the northwest with low pressure to the east, which allows a cold, showery, northerly flow to develop for a time."
The chilly conditions may result in a relatively settled period for many, but the Met Office warns that "there will be some wintry hazards, including perhaps snow to low levels, to north-facing coastal areas at times." This means that residents in various parts of the country should prepare for the potential of snow, especially in regions that are less accustomed to such weather.
