Finally the cold weather I promised for January long ago has arrived, and it is set to get quite a bit colder too - we might even have a couple of ice days (where the temperature does not rise about 0'C all day).
It should become less cold later next weekend or into the new week.
Not quite as cold as Bulgaria which has -36'C forcasted for this week - ouch.
Sadly for snow lovers there is very little on offer...at the moment. Except if you live on the East Coast.
Tonight will be cold, clear and dry, down to -4'C so rather frosty.
Tuesday will be mostly sunny and dry though there is a 30% chance of a light snow shower making it this far inland during the afternoon - the breeze will from the east - a very cold direction in winter. No higher than 3'C during the day and down to -5'C overnight with another hard frost.
Wednesday will be sunny and dry, a touch colder at probably no more than 1'C and down to a colder -6'C overnight, possibly even lower than that.
Thursday again sunny and dry, but colder still at 0'C during the day and maybe -8'C overnight. Just a very small chance of a very light snow flurry during the day.
Friday looks interesting with a little feature developing over the North Sea and heading inland, at this point I rate the chance of snow in Reading at 30% but this might upgrade. 1'C during the day if lucky, -6'C overnight.
Saturday again has the chance of a snow shower or two, again around 30% chance but most showers will not have the strength to make it anywhere near as far inland as Reading.
Sunday into Monday looks like milder weather will start to come in from the west with rain - but I fully expect this to turn to snow and there could be a reasonable dumping. This is not yet set in stone and requires a little weakening of the high pressure over Russia and Scandinavia - the cold weather may well hang on for longer.
I will have more certainty on this and any possible snow showers for Friday, on my next forecast on Thursday evening.
I currently expect any mild incursion to be brief and a return to cold weather to follow during February.
Enjoy.
