The Met Office has debunked reports that an Arctic blast and snow will "cover the UK" during January. There have been news reports that a vortex of cold air, similar to the the one that brought the Beast from the East in 2018, is approaching the UK.
But the forecasting service has told WalesOnline that the most likely outcome for January is that it will continue to remain "changeable with temperatures generally on the mild side". Alex Burkill, senior operational meteorologist, said that after a chilly day on Monday, January 2, in Wales it will "turn wet, windy and milder" on Tuesday.
He added: "There will be some heavy rain for Wales, 40-50mm likely over the mountain. The rest of the week will be changeable but mild with wind and rain more of a concern than anything wintry."
