A Met Office map has shown the exact locations to be hit by a huge wave of snow next week. According to the UK precipitation map, wintry showers will begin to fall in parts of northern Scotland and Northern Ireland on Sunday (January 14.)

Weather experts have warned that the 'Beast from the East' may make its return to the UK sooner than we think.

Scotland is set to be hit with more sub-zero temperatures as a pool of frozen air over the Arctic makes its way in the coming weeks January. Freezing conditions are expected to be on their way plunging to -9C by next weekend.

Snow is on its way to Scotland - meaning the Beast from the East may be coming back with a vengeance. A collapsing Polar vortex could spark a major freeze this month, similar to the epic storm from February 2018, according to some forecasters.

The UK is set for an Arctic blast sparking the 'snowiest period in 12 years' lasting a month, according to forecasters. They have also predicted that Britain could be set to freeze in January, reports the Mirror.

It looks like we could be in for a blast of Indian summer.”Britain won't just face a rise of temperatures this week, but "something of everything", as a result of a of a jet stream that has been supercharged in the Atlantic by Hurricane Ian, which hit Florida very hard earlier this week.Jim Dale, meteorologist for British Weather Services, said: “We are going to get something of everything in the next few days, a complete smorgasbord of weather.“There will be wind, rain, showers and, from the start of the week, a rise in temperatures in southern parts of the country.”The remains of Ian will act like a pebble thrown into a lake sending out waves long after it hits.To stay up to date with all the latest news, make sure you sign up to one of our newsletters here.It will turbo-charge the jet stream to pull unsettled weather in to the UK by feeding it with warm tropical air.Mr Dale, author of Weather Or Not? said: “Ian is going to behave like a pebble dropped in water.“While it will not affect the UK’s weather directly, it will send out ripples, and will help to fire up the jet stream and in turn influence our weather.

The UK is set to face its hottest ever August as the country once again finds itself plunged into an imminent “heat surge” as a result of rising temperatures. With some parts of the country, such as Norwich, expected to see temperatures hit 30 degrees on Sunday, several other cities along the Southern and East of the country have also seen temperatures creeping back up into the high 20s as the summer weather continues.

Platinum Jubilee weekend is on the cards with a two-week sizzler forecast from next weekend.Rain, wind and thunder this week will give way to a 10-day blast of summer with temperatures hitting 25C – and some parts could even see 30C.But those in Scotland and the North should keep brollies and jumpers ready today as thermometers nosedive.The South will cling on to the warmth, which could trigger the odd thunderstorm, experts warn.

five monster heatwaves set to make this summer Britain’s hottest ever.The Met Office said temperatures in London could blast to a “hazy” 23C by tommorow afternoon, with things getting hotter than parts of Turkey and Mexico over the next five days.In the next fortnight, the UK is set to boil under 30C heat when blazing sunshine will be driven by a plume of hot air sweeping from Italy and France. James Madden, forecaster for Exacta Weather, said: “The overall summer forecast is now pointing towards at least four or five major heatwaves.

heatwave is set to see temperatures in the UK soar to 25C on one day this month, forecasters warn.That would smash the hottest temperature recorded so far this year of 23.4C at St James Park in London.This should come as no surprise after the Met Office warned: “There is an increase in the likelihood of warmer-than-average conditions in the month ahead.“Predictions are consistent in suggesting an increase in the likelihood of temperatures being above average overall.“While this doesn’t necessarily mean heatwaves will occur, it does increase the likelihood of heatwaves compared to normal.” According to independent forecaster WeatherTAB, things should really start warming up towards the end of May. Specifically, they predict the mercury will reach its 25C peak on May 30.

According to the Met Office's three-month summer outlook, the chances of "hot weather" are double those of other years.It states: “There is an increase in the likelihood of warmer-than-average conditions in the month ahead.“Predictions are consistent in suggesting an increase in the likelihood of temperatures being above average overall.“While this doesn’t necessarily mean heatwaves will occur, it does increase the likelihood of heatwaves compared to normal.”Exacta Weather’s James Madden said: “There is now the potential for a major spell of warm weather to develop during the latter part of May or early June.”Bookies are predicting a potential record hot summer this year, with Coral slashing their odds from 3/2 to 5/4.Spokesman John Hill said: “The betting is pointing to a record hot summer this year in the UK.

Winter threatens to blast back this weekend driven by a -10C mini Beast of the East.Temperatures will continue to nosedive through next week as parts of the country brace for snow.Meteorologists are nervously watching rising temperatures in the atmosphere above the North Pole.A so-called stratospheric warming could be strong enough to split the Polar Vortex - the dome of air over the Arctic-triggering the freeze.A Sudden Stratospheric Warming (SSW) four years ago unleashed the notorious 2018 Beast from the East deep freeze.

Scotland could see snow as early as this weekend with Arctic air set to blast the country.

forecasters, many Brits should be bracing themselves for a flurry of snow in the coming days as sub-zero conditions are set to fall on areas across the UK.This weekend, temperatures will begin to plummet following a severe Arctic drop.Modelling maps from WXCharts show that temperatures are set to drop around January 31, with Scotland and northern regions set to be blitzed with snowy conditions.On Sunday temperatures could reach as low as -5C in Scotland, with WXCharts warning that the country's most northern regions may experience up to 7cm of snow settling on the ground.The arrival of a deep cold flurry from the North Pole could last several weeks.

Winter is about to roar back with a "big change in the weather" threatening wind, rain and more snow.People will batten down the hatches from this weekend as settled weather gives way to stormy outbreaks.Bitter winds from the north will put the nation back on snow-watch through the start of February, experts warn.Meteorologist for British Weather Services, Jim Dale said: “We will see this quiet weather for a few more days before things change towards the end of the month.“After weeks of dry weather, an Atlantic influence will bring more in the way of rain through the start of February.“We are also expecting to see some wintry showers, and blasts from the north or the northeast are not out of the question.

Despite the predictions that Hogmanay is set to be one of the warmest on record in parts of the country, snow could fall shortly after.
