UK weather maps show snow falling within hours with one place worst-hit

UK weather maps have shown all the parts of the country which are braced for snow across Thursday April 25 and Friday April 26 as the weather takes a turn for the worse. A cold spell will hit several parts of the country as we head deeper into April and towards the start of May.

WX Charts has issued its predictions through weather maps and charts compiled using Met Desk data. It warns a cold snap will see flurries of snowfall in parts of the north of England alongside Scotland with Inverness in particular affected.

Terry Scholey, a weather expert wrote in his blog for Netweather.tv: “After another early touch of frost in places, it will be a sunny start for some, but clouds will build again to produce scattered showers. These will be most frequent over the far North of Scotland, where some will be wintry, with some snow, and also likely on hills further south.

“At lower levels, the showers will mostly fall as rain or hail, but it's possible you could see sleet or even wet snow in a few of the heavier showers. Again, some places will miss them, and there'll continue to be sunny intervals.

“But with a northerly breeze, although mostly light of polar origin, it'll feel raw out of the sun, with top temperatures from North to South only 7 to 12C.” Jo Farrow, writing on Netweather, added: "On Friday, a deepening low will move southwards to Iberia before curling up across the Bay of Biscay.

"This low will be the main feature across the UK by Sunday, with heavy rain reaching northwards over SE and then more of England. There is some uncertainty about the reach of this rainband." Netweather also says Saturday "will start chilly and bright for Northern Ireland and northern Britain."

"For England, there will still be a cool easterly breeze off the North Sea, but as the frontal band moves away from southeastern England, it will feel better with sunny spells," Ms Farrow adds.
