Met Office reveals all the areas set for snow this week

Here are the 12 UK areas to get snow by Tuesday

Widespread weather warnings for travel disruption, power cuts and treacherous icy roads have been issued as the UK faces a wintry start to the year.

The first few days of 2026 have seen a dramatic drop in temperatures which are well below freezing.

Daytime highs are forecast to struggle to reach 5C over the coming days, while conditions are ripe for snow, sleet and ice as Arctic air collides with moist Atlantic weather systems.

Twelve regions will be impacted by Tuesday’s snow and ice warnings - stretching from the Scottish Highlands down to Devon and Cornwall - as they will remain in effect from midnight on Monday through to 11am on Tuesday.

Weather models from WX charts predict the snow could prove far more severe across Scotland, where snow depths could reach 47cm in northern areas.

On the other hand, a separate alert will run from noon on Monday through to 11am on Tuesday across Wales and the south west of England.

The worst of the conditions are expected along the western coastline, though disruption is likely to push further inland, with accumulations of around 5-10cm predicted.

The Met Office stated: “Whilst not all areas will be affected, scattered snow showers will move inland from the North Sea during Monday, giving some small accumulations in places.”

Therefore, the east coast of England faces a warning period starting from midnight on Sunday and lasting until 11am on Tuesday.
“Where snow showers are most frequent, this is most likely across southeast Scotland, parts of North and East Yorkshire and Redcar and Cleveland, fresh accumulations of 5-8 cm will be possible in a few places. Lightning and gusty winds may be additional hazards, especially near windward coasts”, the Met Office continued.
