Long-range forecasters are predicting an Arctic blast in January with it claimed Britain is set for its 'snowiest period of weather' since 2010. The Met Office says that snow is possible into mid-January and another forecaster is predicting "frequent spells of cold wintry weather" next month.
Nationally temperatures are predicted to drop initially in the run up to Christmas Day, although it is milder in Nottinghamshire, with a high of 10°C forecast for Sunday. But cold weather is then set to return and run into the new year and a Met Office spokesman told GB News that snow could fall to lower levels at times, the Express reports.
The spokesman said: "Confidence is relatively low during early and mid-January. Temperatures are most likely to be around average, though there is a greater likelihood of cold spells compared to normal.
