A new snow map shows when the whole of the UK is set to be hit by a 30-hour blizzard. It indicates snow is on its way on January 24.
It comes as an amber cold alert remains in place. The WXCharts’ data shows snow will be falling at a rate of around 3cm per hour in parts of the country, reports the Mirror. The colour-coded map shows a band of purple, which indicates snow, sweeping the country, including the Midlands area.
The news comes as the recent cold snap is set to subside across Coventry and Warwickshire. The latest local Met Office forecast predicts that milder weather is on its way this week.
