WORCESTER, England, February 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Over a foot of snow in some places, travel chaos and bitter temperatures have been the major news story in recent days, and there is plenty more to come.
In the shorter term, further snow will develop during Wednesday particularly over the north of the country. Thursday could see another major snow event with significant falls of snow affecting England and Wales - with the Midlands perhaps the most likely region to suffer the worst. Even into the weekend the cold stays over the UK with more snow likely yet again.
Paul Michaelwaite of Netweather.tv comments:
Thursday is the next day we're really watching closely as a low pressure system moving up from the southwest meets cold air pushing down from the north, which is likely to bring some very heavy and persistent snow to many areas.
Further in advance, long range signals are suggesting that the current cold could pale into insignificance in comparison with what may be on the way later in the month.
Long range expert at Netweather.tv Stewart Rampling explains:
Events in the stratosphere give a very good indication of the likely weather patterns within a few weeks and an unprecedented warming event which occurred recently, points toward the possibility that this cold spell could be just a pre-cursor to an even more bitter period during the second half of February.
The probability of an exceptionally cold and snowy period of weather during the second part of the month is very much increasing and could be the sting in the tail of what has already been a cold winter by recent standards in particular.
Stewart Rampling continues:
It is exceptionally rare for such a stratospheric warming event to occur during a La Nina period, and as such we are entering virtually unknown territory, which could mean some quite extreme weather conditions.
