The upcoming week will be chilly and arid for most regions, although there will be a bit of snow in the southern areas at the start.
On Monday afternoon until early Tuesday morning, there is a forecast of possible snow and risk of ice which has been indicated by a yellow warning.
The United Kingdom will face frosty weather tonight, with rural Scotland potentially experiencing temperatures as low as -9°C and rural Wales potentially experiencing temperatures as low as -6°C. This is much colder than the temperatures the country has seen in the past few weeks.
It is anticipated that there will be some snowfall in the southern regions during Monday afternoon and evening. The snow is probable to accumulate more on hilly terrain located in the south of England and Wales.
Paul Gundersen works as the Chief Forecaster for the Met Office. According to him, the weather is under the influence of high pressure, which is located in the northeastern part. This will make the southern region quite cold, and it's possible that there will be some snow in southern parts of England and South Wales. Initially, the snowfall will mostly be seen on high points, and various areas will barely see any snow. However, there is a chance of snow accumulating later in the evening and during the first half of the night.
Following a chilly beginning to the latest workweek, temperatures will move nearer to the typical level as it nears its conclusion.
Over the upcoming weekend, a cold front will be moving towards the south and can usher in notably chillier air originating from the northern regions. This may result in more frigid temperatures in that area. The change could possibly affect the weather greatly, so it's a good idea to stay tuned for any new developments that may arise.
If snow has dropped, it may cause icy conditions for a while. The Met Office has issued a yellow warning for ice that will affect a large part of southern England and south Wales from 3:00 PM today (Monday) until 3:00 AM tomorrow (Tuesday).
The British Health Security Agency has released a Cold Health Alert indicating that it is highly likely to have noteworthy consequences throughout the healthcare and social care industry.

On Tuesday, we can expect a day that is predominantly without rain, and with some instances of sunlight. However, it will still be chilly, especially in the southern regions, where the temperature will not exceed 1°C to 3°C. Additionally, the strong winds will enhance the sensation of cold in the southern areas.
The coming week will see a prolonged period of high pressure, which will maintain the chilly and arid conditions. However, it is possible that we may see some showers in certain areas later in the week due to the arrival of a frigid front from the north.
