Millions of Brits are being warned to prepare for another snow onslaught that could impact several cities nationwide. The recent cold snap has swept across many areas, with the Met Office issuing yellow weather warnings for snow and ice in various regions.
Now, the latest UK weather maps from WXCharts reveal the UK being battered by snow for approximately 48 hours as temperatures plummet over vast distances. On December 11 at around midday, Scotland is forecast to be blanketed in snow, with about 8cm predicted to fall near Inverness within an hour, and snow spreading towards Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen.
By 6pm in northern Scotland, around 13cm per hour is expected to fall. However, by midnight on December 12, much of the UK weather map turns white as the Scottish snow rapidly moves south, putting cities like Newcastle, Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds and Cardiff, as well as Belfast in Northern Ireland, at risk.

Snowfall in Scotland intensifies further, with up to 19cm per hour appearing on the west coast, affecting all major towns and cities. The maps also indicate snow continuing to fall over large parts of the UK throughout December 12, before it starts to ease off by around midday on December 13.
But the weather turmoil won’t stop there for Brits, with a bitter -7C cold blast set to hit central Scotland in the early hours of December 14, reports the Express.

The Met Office’s long-range weather forecast for December 12-26 suggests that the weather will become less settled again, with west or northwesterly types preferred. This could bring wet and windy weather “with a risk of some snow, especially across northern hills”, with these conditions likely to continue into late December.

The BBC’s long-range weather forecast for December 9-22 states: “There could be occasions when a colder north-westerly flow develops, consistent with the centre of low pressure moving towards the eastern North Atlantic.”
“As a result, temperatures could be a little lower at times, especially in Northern Ireland and Scotland with a possibility of occasional wintry precipitation, even at lower levels.”
