Latest Weather Map Shows London To Be Hit By Snow Within Days

The latest weather map shows London to be hit by snow within days. This report highly predicts a high chance of snow in London in the coming days.

According to WXCharts, using MetDesk data, London has a 50% chance of snow on Monday, February 26, 2024, with accumulations of up to two centimeters. The snow may continue into Tuesday, with a 40% probability of flurries and another cm of snow.

The snow forecast for London comes as the UK experiences a cold snap, with temperatures falling below freezing in many areas. The Met Office has issued yellow ice and snow warnings for Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Northern England, predicting up to 10 centimeters of snow on the higher territory.

According to the Met Office: “Colder than average conditions are likely to continue for the rest of February, with a greater than normal chance of snow, especially in the north, but perhaps even in the south too.”

The cold snap is produced by a blast of arctic air that has pushed the jet stream southward, allowing cold air to enter from the north. This is in contrast to the mild and wet weather that dominated the UK in January, making it the seventh wettest month on record.

The cold and snowy weather might create transport delays and power outages, as well as endanger vulnerable individuals and animals. The Met Office warned people to keep cautious and follow the most recent updates and guidance.

Londoners wishing for a snow day may be disappointed, as the snow is unlikely to persist long or cause significant disruption in the metropolis. London is typically spared from severe snowfall due to its urban heat island effect, which keeps it warmer than the surrounding areas.

However, Londoners can still enjoy the city’s rare snowfall, possibly even building a snowman or having a snowball fight, as long as they follow the Covid-19 rules and recommendations. The snow could also provide some stunning views of London’s prominent sites and parks.
