England will not miss out on seeing heavy snow fall, as the northeast alongside Yorkshire and the Humber are predicted to have one centimetre of snow to fall every hour. Snow depths in the northwest are likely to reach five centimetres.
The snow shows no sign of easing off as we make our way down the UK to north Wales, mid Wales, and the west of England. Between one and two centimetres of snow could fall per hour in these areas.
Parts of south and west Wales will also see flurries of snow. Only a small section of Wales will miss out on catching a glimpse of some snowflakes.
London and the southeast will not escape the snow, the maps suggest, heading towards the UK, as one centimetre of snow could fall per hour here.
