UK braces for 'worst snow in 14 years' with week-long deep freeze predicted
dailyrecord.co.ukWeather experts say the UK is facing its worst snowstorm and coldest deep freeze in 14 years. Various forecasting sites say snow is likely for next week after it fell over southern parts of the UK in recent days.
The Met Office has refused to put exact figures on how much snow will come down, and where it will land, though the national weather agency does expect some to fall, reports the Daily Mirror.It says for next week: "Winter weather hazards remain largely in focus, and an increasing risk as we move through the week."Exacta Weather forecaster James Madden predicts we could see snow right across the country and says the snow risk is greater than any year since 2010.
He said: "Over the next few weeks, there will be a high chance of snow with the risk higher than the same period over the past few years or indeed, since the big freeze of 2010."It is likely we are about to start seeing images of vast regions of the nation covered in snow during a cold spell which is likely to hold out for an extended period.
As well as the risk of snow, we will see harsh overnight frosts and the coldest temperatures dipping as low as -15C in the coldest parts of the country over the coming weeks," he told GB News.
