UK Weather: Amber warning for snow issued
Britain is likely to be hit by a polar freeze weeks after recovering from the aftermath of two major storms as the latest maps show a huge wall of snow covering several parts of the UK.
Latest weather maps suggest that the wintry conditions will make a return as a 473-mile snow bomb will batter the parts of Britain covering from Wick to Manchester in a matter of hours.
Maps from WXCharts suggest a snow bomb will be dumped on Britain after days of heavy rain and winds. Areas in Scotland such as Wick, Inverness, and Fort Williams are likely to be caked with snow as maps predict 9-10cm of snow depth in these areas on February 6.
However, during this period, several areas in England are likely to be blanketed with snow as temperature levels fall to -5C. Cities such as Manchester and Newcastle could witness temperature levels as low as -5C.
Those in Scotland will be the worst impacted as the arctic freeze could bring down the mercury levels to -8C.
At present, Britain is battling damaging 97mph winds as Storm Jocely wreaks havoc causing travel disruptions across.
There are a few yellow warnings in place for several parts of the country as another storm hits the UK. On Tuesday, the country witnessed the aftermath of Storm Isha which left two people dead and a few injured.
Many households across the country have been left without power while commuters face struggle as several trains and flights cancelled due to the stormy weather.

The Met Office’s long-range forecast between January 28 and February 6 stated: “Cloud and outbreaks of rain gradually move southwards across the UK during Sunday, lying across central areas before moving back north during Monday.
“Some heavy rain is possible at times, particularly across hills in the west. Through the remainder of the period, changeable with spells of rain at times, but also some drier, brighter interludes.
“The heaviest and most frequent rain will tend to be across north-western areas and accompanied by periods of strong winds. Further south and east settled periods are likely to be more prevalent, with the best of any sunshine and drier weather here.
“Temperatures are expected to be milder than average overall, although this doesn't preclude shorter, colder spells at times, with a risk of overnight frost and fog accompanying more settled conditions.”
