after such a mild start to 2022, the weather has been making quite a dramatic change, a change to something colder, with snow and gales in the forecast for some of us on tuesday, particularly across the north of the uk. could see up to 15 cm of snow accumulating over high ground in scotland, some to low levels too, blown in on gales or severe gales. that ll give blizzard conditions for a time. the cold air is filtering in behind this band of cloud and rain. a bit of sleet and snow on the back edge of that over high ground. then we get to see some sunshine, scattered wintry showers out west. top temperatures, it to 8 degrees, colder than it has been, although these values are actually around the average for this time of year. through tuesday night, we will see some clear spells. some wintry showers continue. frost and ice are likely, with temperatures widely dropping close to freezing, below freezing in quite a few places. wednesday promises to be another very chilly feeling day, highs
behind this band of cloud and rain, which is a weather front separating out the two. so more rain this evening for northern england, also getting into north wales and the north midlands, as that front just sinks a little further south. to the south of the front, very mild again, to the north of the front, we re looking at a frost, particularly for scotland. and then through wednesday, the front slowly continues its journey southwards, such that, actually, i think for some parts of northern england, wales and the midlands, temperatures will come down through the day as the skies clear and the front carries its cloud down into southern counties of england. to the south of the uk, it will still be feeling mild, but it s going to be a windy day across the board and the strength of those winds will just add into how chilly it s going to feel, especially across northernmost reaches of the uk through wednesday, temperatures for scotland down the lower end of single figures in many areas. and
that area of low pressure, it weakens and winds become lighter so much lighter winds on thursday, may be a future mist and fog patches, most places will be dry, may be a little sunshine but still quite cold air, temperatures 6 8 so a quiet day on thursday after the storm on tuesday. coming in from the atlantic on friday we have this weak weather front. it will mainly be western areas that see this band of cloud and rain, may be snow over the scottish hills, that moves east and the rain peters out and then we see sunshine and showers coming into the western uk but still only five degrees in the central belt of scotland, six in the south east of england and east anglia. we have another area of deep low pressure heading towards iceland, some stronger atlantic winds heading our way, more unsettled weather to come in the outlook for the weekend and
