An Arctic blast forecast for the UK in January is expected to bring with it Britain's 'snowiest period of weather' since 2010. The Met Office is predicting that snow is possible into mid-January while another forecaster has suggested there'll be "frequent spells of cold wintry weather" at the start of 2023.
Snow, ice and freezing temperatures are forecast to descend upon Britain after Christmas, although those hoping for snow to fall on December 25 are likely to be disappointed. Temperatures on Christmas Day are forecast to be mild for the time of year.
But experts are predicting winds as cold as -11C blowing in from the Arctic once we get into January. Long-range forecasters blame complex meteorological events on the other side of the world unfolding in a similar pattern to the drivers behind the brutal 2018 Beast from the East, the Express reports.
