Three UK areas set to be hit by snow in days amid 'artic blast'

Several areas in England could be hit with snow next week as cold temperatures are set to hit our shores. It comes following widespread travel disruption from Storm Bert over the weekend.

And on Wednesday, December 4, more snow could be on its way to parts of Britain, according to WXCharts. Inland areas of Cumbria, North Yorkshire and County Durham look set for a dusting of the white stuff overnight.

Much of the rest of Northern England will see a huge band of rain, stretching from the coasts of Cumbria and Lancashire down past the Wash, Thames estuary and into Kent, the maps show.

It looks as if it will also be a chilly start to the day with -1C in parts of the Scottish Highlands, 0C in Northumbria and -1C around Edinburgh. Elsewhere, minimum temperatures will range from 2-7C, according to WX Charts.

Charts generated on Monday, November 25 by Netweather also show snow affecting northern England at midnight on December 4, with snowflakes also expected in part of Aberdeenshire, The Daily Express reports.

However, the Met Office does not mention snow in their long range forecast. A spokesperson said: "Whether these conditions edge east into other parts of the country is uncertain, but eastern areas especially may well stay drier and colder through the weekend.

"Into December, and while signals are mixed it looks most likely that high pressure may re-assert itself close to or over the UK, with temperatures generally near average."

The forecaster expects high pressure to build during this period with night frosts returning. Outbreaks of rain could move into some western and northwestern parts of the country along with some stronger winds.
