UK's weather forecast

BBC Weather meteorologist Carol Kirkwood forecast sleet and snow across the UK as temperatures remain below freezing.

BBC Weather forecaster Carol Kirkwood warned of wintry conditions and freezing temperatures over the next few days. Ms Kirkwood said there would be sleet, rain and snow across parts of the UK. Temperatures will also fall to minus four degrees in some parts of England with a wall of rain to follow on over the next few days.

Ms Kirkwood said: "It is a cold start to the day as temperatures are widely below freezing. We have got some lying snow, about 18cm in Wittering and Loch Glascarnoch. It is a frosty start and an icy one as well and there is a chance of a wintry shower or two with some of us seeing that this morning."

"The more likely areas are parts of the north and the west, they will see a mixture of rain, sleet and snow. High pressure is also in charge of the weather and it is scooting across other areas."

The BBC Weather forecaster noted that despite the cold temperatures and expected wintry weather, some areas of the UK will see a settled Monday.

She continued: "There is a lot of settled conditions this morning as well. Some patchy mist and fog that will soon lift and we could see some sunshine as well. There will be varying amounts of cloud and some showers across the north and the west."

Ms Kirkwood noted that during the day temperatures are where they should be for the time of the year.

In the north, there will be a high of three degrees celsius while in the south a high of seven degrees. However, temperatures are expected to be below freezing in a selection of areas overnight.

Ms Kirkwood said: "Overnight there is some clear skies to watch out for and some widespread frost. There will be ice on untreated surfaces and still some wintry showers with snow in the hills. In some of the heavier showers, you could see snow at lower levels as well. These are our temperatures, minus four in Birmingham so it will be a cold start for the day."

Following on from this, on Wednesday a wall of rain is expected to cover the UK and move from the east to the west.

Windy snow forecast maps also show significant new snow could fall over parts of Scotland, northern England and Northern Ireland over the course of the next three days, Express reported.

Tonight the Met Office forecast “clear and cold” conditions for many parts of the UK along with “widespread frost”.

Rain and snow is forecast for parts of Scotland, and rain and some stronger winds are due to arrive in Northern Ireland later in the night.

A number of ice and snow warnings expired at 11am on Monday, and the Met Office has now issued weather warnings for Tuesday. A yellow snow warning has been issued for parts of Scotland and northern England, and it is active from 11am on Tuesday until 11.59pm.

The warning reads: "A spell of hill snow will develop during Tuesday late morning and afternoon."

"Over northern England and southern Scotland, snow will initially fall down to approximately 200-300m before gradually becoming confined to areas above 400m during course of the afternoon. Here, accumulations will be mainly above 300 m where 2-5cm snow is likely for some and above 400m 5-8cm is possible in a few places."

"Further north, hill snow will be more prolonged and 2-5 snowcm is likely above 200m and in some places 5-10cm is possible above 400m, most likely over the southern Grampian Mountains."

A yellow ice warning has also been issued for Northern Ireland between 2am and 10am on Tuesday. The Met Office warn of "icy patches" and potential hill snow above 200m. By Wednesday temperatures across the south could rise back up to 10C or 12C.

With the milder weather comes a greater risk of flooding, and further problems are possible in southern parts by the end of the week.

Met Office meteorologist Simon Partridge said: "It's a bit of a rollercoaster from cold and wintry conditions to wet and windy ones. We are keeping an eye on rainfall totals because there are some areas that are very sensitive to rainfall and there is further possible flooding as we go through the second half of the week."
