LONDON: The United Kingdom has seen significant snowfall, and some areas have endured temperatures as low as minus 10 degrees Celsius.
According to weather forecasters, the cold spell is expected to last through this week. However, according to some estimates, Greenland will bring another cold front that will impact the country early in February. A “snow bomb” is allegedly on its way to the British Isles towards the end of the following week. However, the Met Office has stated that their findings are probably overblown.

The reports of another severe weather occurrence in the UK are based on advanced weather maps from WX Charts, a forecast model. They predict that on Thursday, February 2, a blizzard will hit Northern Ireland and parts of Scotland.
According to a Metro story, the weather oddity will spread to most of the UK and cover vast swaths of territory with heavy snow. WX Charts hasn’t predicted how much snow will accumulate on the ground, but the website’s color-coded map shows that it will fall at a rate of almost two inches per hour.
Met Office meteorologist Dan Stroud claimed that these forecasts are overblown and that February’s first few days will be mild overall. He stated that as we enter the first few days of February, nothing particularly severe is being forecast. The meteorologist added that the beginning of the week would bring milder temperatures to Scotland, which will spread south.
According to Stroud, by the middle of the week, most of the country’s temperatures should be roughly back where they should be. The meteorologist stated that those temperatures are anticipated to last until February.
