The UK faces a new snow bomb lasting 14 days – with the exact date it starts and ends confirmed. A second January wall of snow will bring a wintry blast to the country as we head through the first month of the year in the wake of Christmas.
Maps and charts from WX Charts, which are projected using Met Desk data, show a downturn in conditions as we head through the first month of the year. January promises to bring with it further disruption – days after heavy snowfall.
The -10C snow blast kicks off on January 9, with highs of just 0C in the south, while the north west of England shivers in minus ten degrees. On January 12, as the wintry conditions continue, only Cornwall and Devon looks set to rise above the freezing mark.

London will shiver in 0C temperatures until next week, too, while Somerset, and the south east also experience a bone-chilling weather mix. In England, the lowest figure will be -7C near to Leeds next week, the models predict.
In the short term, the BBC says tomorrow (Thursday January 9) will be another cold day with snow showers across northern parts of Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales and a few western parts of England. It will be mainly dry elsewhere with winter sunshine.
And the outlook for Friday (January 10) to Sunday (January 12) goes on and adds: “On Friday, light rain will move into the south-west, bringing a chance of hill snow. Mainly dry elsewhere, but Northern Ireland will see light rain towards in the evening.
“Saturday will be a mainly dry day but there will be a few spots of rain in the north-west, and hill snow in Scotland. Outbreaks of rain in the north on Sunday, but drier in the south. Milder over the weekend.”
