Britain is set to be battered by blankets for snow in little over a week, a new weather map suggests. Scotland, Wales and much of Northern Ireland and northern England will be affected by the arctic conditions that are set to last for a week.
Meanwhile, more southern cities such London will be drenched in buckets of rain. It comes as a large part of the country remains under a yellow weather warning for winds and showers as Storm Darragh continues to wreak havoc.
The snow is forecast to hit on December 16 and could last until December 21 – when snow is predicted in more northern regions, according to data collected by wxcharts.com.
