Parts of Britain may experience snow later this week as a band of wintry weather sweeps across the country.
According to weather charts, the cold air will sweep across the UK from east to west, with the worst weather expected on Sunday.
GPS models suggest this band of cold, wet weather is at least 600 miles wide and will affect most of the country as we head into the weekend - bringing as much as 4 inches of snow in places.
However, the Met Office has clarified in its own predictions that while there is a chance of snow, this is more likely to happen in the north of the country.
In the Met Office’s UK forecast, meteorologists say it’s “turning colder from Friday with a chance of snow showers, particularly in the north.”
In London, temperatures may drop to as low as two degrees Celsius as we approach the weekend, prompting questions about whether the capital may also see a sprinkling of snow.
So what does this mean for the capital?
Is it going to snow in London?
While the temperatures are certainly going to drop for some parts of the country, it looks less likely that London will be hit by snow.
London may record a low of 2C on Friday night - which, according to BBC weather, could prompt sleet showers in the capital.
The weekend is looking milder, with highs of 10C forecast for Sunday.
According to the Met Office, the capital will also be hit by rain over the weekend, and there are also broader warnings of flooding across parts of the country.
The “Atlantic frontal zones look to make a return near the start of this period,” the Met Office forecast reads about the upcoming weekend.
“The track of these depressions may be a little further north than over the preceding weeks, but will continue to bring broadly unsettled weather to many areas, with further spells of rain and perhaps strong winds at times.”
News of the incoming unsettled weather comes as parts of south England face flood warnings, amid a record-breaking month of rain.
According to the Environment Agency (EA), more than 99 areas of the country are at risk of flooding and around 300 properties have been impacted so far.
Although flooding risks in London are currently “very low”, nearby areas, including Shepperton and Chertsey, have warnings in place.
