UK weather maps and charts show the exact dates the next “snow bomb” will pummel England. On January 25, fresh snowfall is due to make landfall, hitting Ireland and Scotland as well as Wales and England in a weather front spanning HUNDREDS of miles.
A huge wall of snow could engulf the country, according to WX Charts, which uses Met Desk data. A Met Office forecast from January 15 onwards explains: “High pressure is likely to lie close to southern UK initially, with generally settled conditions prevailing across the south. Cloud amounts will be variable and often large, with some fog developing under clearer spells, especially in the south.
” Frontal systems will spread from the northwest of the UK, bringing some rain and windier conditions here. These spreading further south at times with windier conditions and frontal bands of rain making more progress across the whole of the UK from next week with the potential for deeper lows with stronger winds to approach the UK.

“Temperatures are likely to be generally a little above average, falling to around average into next week, though the south or east may see the odd rather cold start under clear skies and lighter winds.” The Met Office has also issued a brief update for early February.
“High pressure likely to dominate, especially in the south, bringing quiet, grey, and cool conditions here. Northern parts are more-likely to be unsettled but milder. This pattern will likely spread across the whole UK by the end of the period, leading to milder conditions with periods of rain and strong winds more widely,” it stated.
The BBC adds of January 20 to January 30: “Late in January and into early February, there are suggestions of more unsettled weather, allowing west to south-westerly flows across the UK. Rain and increasing winds could become more probable, as intense Atlantic weather systems move in.
“However, this would be a mild scenario. Not only do models suggest this, but certain atmospheric teleconnections and sub-seasonal signals show some support for the idea.”
