Light snow is possible across northern hills and higher ground of Scotland and northern England this week, but widespread settled snow is unlikely for most of the UK over the next 14 days. Colder air may arrive by late February, bringing a brief chance of lower-level flurries.
Where could snow fall in the next 14 days?
Over the coming fortnight, the most reliable snow forecast is for the Scottish Highlands, where overnight frost and wintry showers may produce a dusting above 300–400 metres. A weak cold front could bring a slushy centimetre or two to the Pennines and the Cairngorms around midweek. For lowland areas, including London and Manchester, the snow forecast near London and Manchester remains minimal – expect rain rather than settling flakes. Anyone checking a snow forecast map will see that the main action stays north and west.
What about snow in Europe and the Alps?
For those planning ski trips, the snow forecast Alps 14 days looks more promising: high-altitude resorts above 2000m should see frequent falls, especially in the western Alps (French and Swiss sectors). A 14-day snow forecast Europe chart suggests decent accumulations for Tignes, Val Thorens and Zermatt later this week. Lower resorts below 1500m may struggle with rain at times. The snow forecast 14 days for the UK’s own hills remains patchy by comparison.
Will snow cause travel disruption this week?
A few roads over the Scottish Highlands and the Pennines could see slushy conditions on Wednesday morning. Most motorways and major A-roads, including the M6 and M74, should stay clear. Keep an eye on the 10 Day Weather Forecast UK for updates.
Is there a reliable snow forecast UK map I can check?
The Met Office provides an interactive snow depth prediction map for the UK. It updates twice daily and shows likely snow cover over the next 72 hours. For a broader view, the ECMWF model offers a snow forecast map covering all of Europe.
Could we see a more widespread snow event later this month?
There are signals for a brief northerly plunge around the last week of February, which might bring snow to lower levels in northern England and the Midlands. Confidence is low, but the snow forecast 14 days outlook includes a 20–30% chance of a few centimetres even in Birmingham and Liverpool.
