The next UK snow bomb is forecast to be 27 INCHES deep and last a staggering 36 hours. New weather maps, from WX Charts, which are based on Met Desk data, show 27 inches of snow could be en route to Britain.

The advanced modelling, based on the ECMWF system, show snow from Monday, January 26. The flurries stick around into Tuesday, January 27, and even into Wednesday morning – making up 36 hours’ worth.

Snow will hit central Wales, the West Midlands including Shropshire, Staffordshire, and Birmingham, the north west of England including Greater Manchester, and Greater London too.

Almost all of Wales is set to be covered, with snow also forecast for the north east of England including Yorkshire.

As well as Yorkshire, the north east including Cumbria and Durham and Northumberland face a dusting, while East Anglia is at risk too.

North of the border, and by the time the snowfall stops falling, parts of Scotland face being under the weight of a 27 inch blanket.

The Highlands and Cairgorms National Park face the heaviest flurries and biggest brunt of the white stuff.

Met Office Chief Forecaster, Andy Page, said: “Unsettled weather continues for many across the UK with persistent and heavy rain in parts of Scotland with snow over higher ground, and strong winds and heavy rain in southwestern England and southern Wales.

“Elsewhere while it’ll be a breezy weekend there will be brighter and drier spells with occasional showers passing through fairly quickly.”

Deputy Chief Forecaster, Steve Kocher, said: “With the jet stream directing areas of low pressure towards the south of the UK, there is a possibility of another very unsettled spell of weather as we move through Tuesday and Wednesday.

“While there is still uncertainty at this lead time, there is the chance of very wet and windy weather in the southwest again, with rain possibly turning to snow as it moves further north and interacts with colder air being dragged in from the east.

“The forecast will certainly develop over the coming days, so it is important to keep up to date and be aware of any severe weather warnings that are issued.”
