The Met Office has named all the areas set to escape snow before the next five-day weather bomb. Snow is forecast every day between Friday and Tuesday, with January 23 to January 27 showing up as a five-day wintry blast.

Maps and forecasts published by the Met Office show Arctic and Atlantic showers of snow are due in Scotland, over Scottish mountains, on higher ground and hills, the north of England and the east of England.

It means certain areas look set to escape the wintriness as the Met Office confirms not everywhere will experience flurries of the white stuff this weekend and beyond.

In fact, areas due to be escaping the snowfall from Friday, January 23 into Saturday, January 24, Sunday, January 25, Monday, January 26 and Tuesday, January 27, are:

The Met Office’s Aidan McGivern said: “Some places towards the south and south west have seen a lot of rain this week and there is more to come.

“Low pressure will bring spiralling bands of rain with heavy downpours at times, with showers pushing further north east across central areas as well.

“Interspersed by some brighter spells in the Midlands, but across northern England, Scotland and Northern Ireland, expect 50mm of rain in the most exposed spots. 400m and above, and expect snow to accumulate with the risk of ice and blizzards.

“That’s because colder air is arriving – 6 or 7C in the north east, and 9C in the south. Close to average for the time of year but feeling unpleasant in the strong winds.”

Mr McGivern said we have more of that persistent rain through the weekend, with a string of yellow rain alerts issued by the forecasting agency.

He said: “Rain spiralling across Devon, across Cornwall with standing water and issues on the road. Hill snow will continue through Scotland and north east England overnight into Saturday.”

Mr McGivern added it would be “mostly” frost free.
