Fresh weather projections have pinpointed the date for the next significant snow event to strike the UK, following the recent disruption caused by Storm Chandra. According to detailed analysis from WX Charts, a substantial snowfall is forecast to blanket much of the nation at midday on Friday, February 9.
Widespread Snow Coverage Expected
The meteorological data, which utilises advanced GFS and ECMWF modelling systems, indicates that an astonishing 95 per cent of the United Kingdom could be covered by snow during this impending weather event. This widespread coverage suggests major travel disruptions and potential impacts on daily life across numerous regions.
Regional Snow Depth Predictions
Forecasters are predicting varied snow accumulations depending on location. The most severe conditions are anticipated in south Wales, where projections suggest accumulations could reach approximately 20 centimetres in depth. Across England, estimates are more moderate but still significant, ranging between 2 and 11 centimetres of snowfall.
Temperature Plunge and Geographic Impact
The weather maps reveal particularly harsh conditions for Scotland, where temperatures are expected to plummet to lows of -7°C. The Cairngorms National Park is forecast to bear the brunt of this wintry assault. Meanwhile, England will experience a notable chill, with mercury readings predicted to range from 0°C down to -2°C in many areas.
Interestingly, the projections show only one region likely to be spared from this blanket of snow: the south west of England. This exception means that areas like the West Midlands, including Birmingham, are set for another round of wintry weather. While Storm Chandra may not have impacted Birmingham severely, the city and wider Midlands region have already experienced flurries earlier in January 2026.
These forecasts have been corroborated by multiple weather modelling platforms, including Ventusky, which mirrors the predictions shown by WX Charts. Residents across the UK are advised to monitor official weather warnings and prepare for potential travel disruptions as February 9 approaches.
