UK Faces Freezing -6°C Snowstorm Expected Within 48 Hours
(MENAFNEditorial) Within 48 hours, the United Kingdom is expected to have its first snowstorm of 2025. It is expected that the temperature will fall to -6°C. The severe news has been backed by WX Charts' weather models, which indicate that a massive Arctic blast is sweeping across the country, bringing with it extremely cold temperatures and considerable chaos.
As the snowfall gets heavier, people in the UK are getting prepared for long, chilly nights indoors. Recent insights from the industry have seen a noticeable shift in seasonal habits, with especially online wine retailers across the UK reportedly experiencing a massive demand for full-bodied wines to warm and gear them up for the coming snowstorm ahead. Retailers like Just Wines have observed more households stocking up on rich reds and refined whites that will be ideal companions for cozy nights as the temperature hits rock bottom.
According to forecasters, Scotland is likely to feel the worst of the chill, with the mercury dipping to -6°C by Thursday morning. The Met Office’s outlook for Tuesday (January 28) predicts a mix of sunshine and heavy showers, particularly in the south, where hail and thunder could make an appearance. Northern areas, including parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland, may experience heavy overnight downpours alongside frost and hazy fog.
Looking ahead to the middle of the week, Wednesday, January 29, is predicted to bring scattered downpours to the north, while thickening clouds and even severe rainstorms along the coast could be seen in the south.
From Thursday to Saturday (January 30 – February 1), the Met Office anticipates a drier start to Thursday with sunny intervals, followed by a band of rain sweeping southeast on Friday. Saturday may see brief dry spells, though the northwest remains at risk of further showers.
Beyond February 1, forecasts predict continuously disturbed weather, with damp and windy conditions in the north. Heavy rain is anticipated, particularly in the northwest, as the winter chill strikes the UK.Justwines Online Ltd
