Met Office warn of 'wintry hazards' for New Year
The Met Office predicts colder-than-average temperatures with frost, ice, and snow risks along a 700-mile UK stretch, affecting tens of thousands from Glasgow to Hastings.
- On December 31 the Met Office warned its December 31 to January 9 outlook predicts colder, drier conditions with possible wintry hazards and below-average temperatures across the United Kingdom.
- High pressure to the west and lower pressure east mean slow-moving weather over the UK, while an area of low pressure moves through the North Sea, bringing rain and showers, the Met Office said.
- Ventusky maps show a 700-mile strip of snowfall across Scotland and England, with blue hues brushing Essex, indicating potential snow on January 1, according to the model maps from Ventusky.
- Areas from north of Glasgow to Hastings face the prospect of the first significant snowfall of 2026 on January 8, but the Met Office has not issued official warnings yet.
- Moving into mid-January the Met Office says temperatures will likely return closer to their average as a transition to westerly winds brings Atlantic systems and more changeable conditions.
