A 13-inch snow bomb looks set to hammer down on the UK with England at risk. New weather maps, compiled by WX Charts and modelled based on Met Desk data, show parts of the UK being battered with snow, with one area seeing as much as 35cm.
The 13-inch snow storm could hit everywhere from Inverness in Scotland to major cities like Glasgow and Edinburgh. Other areas at risk include Dumfries, Fort William, Skye and Wick, according to the modelling, with the snow storm predicted for February 1.
The early stages of the second month of the year see widespread wintry conditions with Norfolk, Suffolk, Greater London, the West Midlands, Staffordshire, Yorkshire, Greater Manchester and Lancashire at risk, as well as Devon, Cornwall, and Hampshire.

Temperatures will struggle above 1C across swathes of the country. It comes after Netweather TV, which alongside WX Charts and Ventusky, uses Met Desk data to compile what lies ahead for the country, offered an outlook for early February.
Looking from February to February 11, meteorologists said: “This period is forecast to be also dominated by mainly south-westerly winds, but probably with low pressure less dominant than during Week 3. It is expected to be generally mild, probably wet at times, especially in the north-west of Britain, but with longer quieter drier spells towards the south-east.
“However, brief cold snaps are possible, particularly in the north, as we may end up with more of a west to north-westerly type at times allowing some colder northerly or north-westerly blasts following low pressure systems moving out into the North Sea.
“Overall, temperatures are again forecast to be above normal, again probably by just 1C in northern and western Scotland, but by around 2C in southern and eastern England. It is expected to be wetter than average in western Scotland and Cumbria but probably drier than average in eastern England.
“It will again be sunnier than average in most eastern parts of the UK, but with near or below average sunshine more likely in most western areas.”
