Further snow showers continue, but with the wind subtly changing to a more westerly direction, slightly different areas are most likely to see the greatest focus of showers compared to the previous day. In many areas, this fresh snow will be falling on top of snow already on the ground. Parts of northern and western Scotland (including southwest Scotland) are likely to see an additional 2-5 cm fairly widely, with peaks of 15-20 cm for areas just inland from west / northwest facing coasts. Further inland towards the southeast of the area, an additional 1-2 cm, with isolated 5 cm is more probable. These same figures can be used for Northern Ireland, but the ultimate maximum here is likely to be in the 10-15 cm range. In addition to the snowfall, ice is likely fairly widely, with thawing / re-freezing of slush and snow. What should I do? Snowy, wintry weather can cause delays and make driving conditions dangerous, so to keep yourself and others safe: Plan your route, checking for delays and road closures, amending your travel plans if necessary; If driving, leave more time to prepare and check your car before setting off; Make sure you have essentials packed in your car in the event of any delays (e.g., warm clothing, food, water, a blanket, a torch, ice scraper/de icer, a warning triangle, high visibility vest and an in-car phone charger). Be prepared for weather warnings to change quickly: when a weather warning is issued, the Met Office recommends staying up to date with the weather forecast in your area.

A band of snow showers will start the day running across parts of west Wales, however as the wind changes to a more northwesterly direction these will increasingly affect parts of, north Wales, northwest England, and perhaps reaching parts of the northwest Midlands later in the day. Generally many places in this area will only see 1-2 cm or so of snow, with any quickly melting on the immediate coastlines. However, where showers align, some narrow corridors could see 5-10 cm of snowfall. This most likely in parts of northwest England. In addition, ice will likely be a significant hazard across much of the region. What should I do?
