A swathe of counties set to be hammered by the next UK snow storm have been revealed. Areas in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland look set for wintry precipitation later this month, according to WX Charts on January 25.
Flurries are likely across swathes of Wales including Anglesey, Caernarfonshire, Denbighshire, Flintshire, Merioneth and Montgomeryshire. In England, the Midlands looks on course to be worst-hit by the weather event.
The West Midlands, Staffordshire, Shropshire, Warwickshire, Herefordshire, and Worcestershire are at risk, as well as Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire in the east Midlands region, before the end of the month.

Northern England faces flurries from Greater Manchester and Lancashire to Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. The south of England and Wales look to escape unscathed at this time, as well as the North East – including Cumbria, Northumberland and Durham.
Devon, Dorset, Gloucestershire and Somerset, Cornwall, Wiltshire, Hampshire, Greater London, Essex, Surrey and Berkshire could be spared. In the short term, Netweather TV’s Terry Scholey has laid bare what lies in store for the country this week.
Mr Scholey said: “Most places continue dry apart from the far north-west, where a south-west to southerly wind may prove quite blustery. For most, it’ll be somewhat less mild, with temperatures across the board between about 7 and 10C, but only 2 to 4C where fog is slow to clear or lingers.”
“It turns misty once more after dark, especially over England, east Wales and south-east Scotland, where patchy fog will form again. Further north and west, there’ll probably be more of a southerly wind, with Northern Ireland and the Western Isles perhaps seeing some rain later in the night. A touch of frost is likely again, mainly in central and eastern areas where skies stay clear, with lowest temperatures around -2C, but it’ll be milder where cloud persists, with 5 or 6C nearer the mark in these parts,” the forecaster went on to also add.
