For most of the UK, the snow forecast for the coming week shows little to no accumulation at low levels, though higher ground in northern Scotland and the Pennines could see a dusting of 1–2 inches (2–5 cm) by midweek.

Where is snow most likely this week?

Birmingham and Sheffield sit on the southern edge of the most probable zone, with a slight chance of wet flurries above 300 metres. For Glasgow and the central belt, the snow forecast map indicates a 40–50% probability of transient cover on hills, but city centres should expect rain or sleet. The snow forecast near Manchester points to a brief wintry mix on the moors, not on the streets. Across the south, including Bristol and London, any snow will be confined to the highest Chilterns or Dartmoor, and even then it is unlikely to settle.

What about the Alps and Europe?

The 14-day snow forecast Europe suggests a more reliable picture for Alpine resorts above 1,500 metres, where 10–20 cm is expected over the weekend. For skiers checking the snow forecast alps 14 days, the best cover remains in the French and Swiss northern Alps. The snow forecast 14 days for the UK shows no significant change: cold but mostly dry, with any snow limited to northern hills.

Highest risk areaScottish Highlands (Cairngorms) – 2–5 cm possible
Lowland citiesLondon, Bristol, Birmingham – no accumulation expected
Alpine depth15–20 cm above 1,500 m in northern Alps
Next chanceLate next week – low confidence, watch the snow forecast uk map
Will it snow near me this weekend?

For most of England and Wales, no. The snow forecast near London and near Manchester shows only rain or drizzle. Only the Scottish Highlands and perhaps the Peak District above 400 metres have a realistic chance of seeing lying snow.

How accurate is a 14-day snow forecast?

Beyond 7 days, confidence drops sharply. The snow forecast 14 days for Europe is more reliable for broad patterns, but for the UK, a 14-day snow forecast is only useful for trend spotting, not for planning travel.

What does the snow forecast map show for next week?

The snow forecast map for the UK indicates a cold north-westerly flow from Tuesday. This brings a risk of wintry showers to northern coasts and hills, but southern and eastern England stay mostly dry and frosty.
