Snow is set to return to the UK with a 400-mile blizzard before the end of the month, according to charts from WX Charts. New weather maps are showing when the UK is likely to be hit snow blizzards again.
Maps from WX Charts, based on the GFS system and projected using Met Desk data, say the UK is likely to be hit again around Tuesday, January 27, when a 400-mile blizzard will approach the country.
Snow will hit the country from the north of Scotland to as far south as London, with the east of England likely to be hit too. Part of Wales and the south west of England, including Bristol, could see some snow as well.

The north west of England and Scotland could be covered by up to 20cm of snow. Counties set to be hammered include Hampshire, Kent, Sussex, Greater London, Essex, Hertfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Buckinghamshire, Huntingdonshire, Norfolk, Suffolk, the West Midlands conurbation, Warwickshire and Leicestershire.
Shropshire, Staffordshire, Derbyshire, Worcestershire, Lincolnshire, Greater Manchester, Cheshire, Yorkshire, Durham, Cumbria and Northumberland will also be covered.
The maps show a downturn in conditions before the second month of the year as the UK turns to a teeth-chatteringly cold spell once again.
It follows Storm Goretti, which brought Birmingham to a standstill last week, on January 9, with heavy travel and traffic disruption owing to the huge flurries the city was blanketed by.
Looking ahead to the weekend, Jo Farrow, from Netweather TV, said: “Sunday could see a few more sunny spells. Overnight, there will be clusters of showers moving east or northeast with many areas staying dry in between.
“The winds will still be light but there will be more areas with a risk of ice, seeing frost or fog on Sunday morning. A southerly breeze will pick up through the morning, stirring away any fog.
“Again there could be a few rain showers in a band from the west with a frontal band edging closer from the Altantic. With a freshening southerly wind, there will be increasing cloud and the threat of rain from the northwest.
“Temperatures will be similar to Saturday. There is a waving weather front over NE France which could sway over Kent bringing patchy rain to the Home Counties and East Anglia for Sunday afternoon. “
