Rain, gales and flood risk into next week
The cold spell that has been with us for the past fortnight is going to come to an end this weekend, as mild air eventually spreads in from the Atlantic – marking the beginning of the big thaw.

As the boring westerlies finally triumph, today’s snowfall may be the last for many of us for a while. Alex Thomson is inspired to poetry by the recent wintry spell.
As the UK enters its second week of this wintry spell, there aren’t many places that haven’t seen any snow. But for how long is the wintry weather set to last?
After a night of snow, the Midlands countryside offers a scene of peace and beauty. So why are so many roads congested with vans and articulated lorries?
Much of England, Wales and Scotland are likely to see heavy snowfall during Friday into Saturday, with the worst affected areas having 25cm (10 inches) of snow.
Much of England and eastern Scotland woke up to a slight covering of snow today, but for how long will this cold spell continue?
The cold air has arrived and it’s here to stay for now, but how much snow will fall into the early part of next week?
During the last 24 hours, there has been a somewhat clearer and more consistent signal from the weather computer models that a spell of very cold weather is likely, starting this weekend.
In my blog last week, I wrote that I expected the weather across the UK to turn colder towards the middle of January, but what still remains very uncertain is how cold it will get.
With many of us getting ready for one of the busiest travel weekends of the year, there is no doubt that the weather will be influential in how smoothly our journeys go.
Before I take a look ahead at the latest trends for the festive period this year, I thought I’d take a look back at how often we’ve experienced a white Christmas in the past.

I thought I’d take a little time to journey through and explain the variety of factors than can determine whether or not snow falls, which will hopefully show how complicated it can be to forecast.
Despite the sunshine, frost, fog, ice and snow were experienced in some areas, giving you a chance to capture great photographs.
Despite the change to quieter weather across the UK, this weekend will provide a few wintry hazards – especially if you’re travelling at night or during the mornings.
