Overview
- - Yellow warnings run from this evening into Wednesday morning for parts of Scotland, northern England, Wales, the Midlands and the North West, including Rochdale, Oldham, Tameside, Bolton, Bury and Stockport.
- - Accumulations are generally 1–3 cm above about 200 metres with a dusting possible at lower levels, while parts of Scotland could see up to around 10 cm with blustery conditions increasing the risk of drifting.
- - The Met Office cautions about hazardous travel with longer journey times, icy patches on untreated surfaces and a small chance of transient freezing rain on higher ground.
- - Flood alerts persist in some areas after one of the wettest Januaries on record, raising the potential for compounded impacts where wintry hazards overlap saturated ground.
- - An unsettled pattern persists through late week with further showers and hill snow possible Thursday into Friday, and a larger mid‑February snow episode remains a model‑signalled but uncertain risk.
