A new -10C snow storm is on the way to the UK with the exact date it batters England confirmed. WX Charts maps and charts, which uses Met Desk data, shows the mercury plunging well below freezing on January 23, in the wake of an early January blast.
Central Scotland risks -10C lows while London, Manchester, Belfast, Cardiff and Birmingham could risk flurries with 0C to 1C highs anticipated. The weather looks set to turn wintry from the Arctic before the end of the month.
Looking ahead to January 20 to January 30, Netweather TV – which along with WX Charts and Ventusky, too, uses Met Desk data – has had its say. The weather forecasting agency hints at a downturn in conditions as the temperatures plummet.

“his week is forecast to start off dry, settled and rather cold for most. There remains potential for one or two northerly blasts early in the week with potential for wintry showers to affect eastern counties, but probably turning milder later in the week with highest pressure becoming centred more to the south and south-east, and westerly and south-westerly winds becoming more prominent in the north,” it states.
“It will probably be mainly sunny and dry early in the week with overnight frosts, generally turning cloudier later in the week but again with some sunshine for the sheltered east of Scotland and north-east of England, especially near North Sea coasts.”
The forecast goes on, adding: “Temperatures are expected to be slightly above average, averaged nationally, but again around 2C above average in northern Scotland and probably a little below average in southern England, by up to 1C.
“It will again be drier than average for all regions, though there is potential for precipitation totals to be not far below normal in north-west Scotland and/or eastern coastal parts of England. Sunshine amounts will be above normal in eastern Scotland and north-east England, and probably also in western Scotland, due to some sunny weather via northerly types early in the week, but are more likely to be near normal elsewhere.”
