<\/p>\nTemperatures could plummet again across the UK towards the end of the month, increasing the likelihood of snow, forecasters have warned.<\/p>\n
It comes as the Met Office said this weekend, temperatures will be mostly average, with showers on Saturday and temperatures ranging from 6C to 10C (42.8F to 50F).<\/p>\n
Met Office meteorologist Honor Criswick said that Sunday would be a “very cloudy and grey day” with dense fog, and rain moving in as the day progressed.<\/p>\n
“Spells of rain eventually pushing into southern England and Wales, pushing northwards through the day, this could turn a little bit heavy at times,” she said.<\/p>\n

Check out the weather forecast where you are<\/a><\/p>\n Though southeast England, northwest Scotland, and Northern Ireland would see some bright spells, temperatures would be lower overall, between 2C to 6C (35.6F to 42.8F).<\/p>\n But conditions could turn colder later in the month, increasing the “chance of snow across parts of the country”.<\/p>\n The Met Office said that from Thursday 22 January, the UK will see a “battle between Atlantic weather systems attempting to arrive from the west while high pressure and colder conditions attempt to exert some influence from the east”.<\/p>\n Initially, milder Atlantic air is expected to dominate, with cloudy, changeable conditions with showers and average temperatures, the weather agency said.<\/p>\n Then towards the end of the month, there is an increased chance that it will turn colder, with the potential for snow.<\/p>\n The Met Office said: “This aspect of the forecast is still somewhat uncertain but the potential transition to colder weather<\/a> also increases the chance of snow across parts of the country.”<\/p>\n People can also expect an increased chance of cold conditions in February and the “associated risk of wintry hazards at times”.<\/p>\n Read more from Sky News:
