The UK faces a 400-mile wall of snow hitting the “whole of England” as far south as Brighton. Maps and charts, projected using WX Charts via Met Desk data, shows a fresh downturn in conditions across the country as we head further away from Christmas and towards February.
The end of January brings with it fresh risk of snowfall, as flurries of the white stuff threaten to accumulate across swathes of England, with everywhere from the south coast to the north of the country facing a dusting of snowfall moving forward.
January 29 will see southern and eastern areas of England hit by a band of snow. A “thick” band of snow is set to hit the North West of England first, before smashing into the North East too, and even stretching as far south as Brighton on the coast.
