Snow warning London: Weather map shows when snow could hit capital this weekend
London could experience its first snow fall of the new year this weekend.
A weather map that highlights potential snowfall across the UK shows the white stuff could hit London this week.
Londoners may wake up to frosty scenes on Sunday (January 6) as snow is forecast to blanket the city over the weekend.
WXCharts’ weather map which distinguishes snowfall with the colour purple shows the capital will be hit by snow in the early morning of Sunday between 5am and 6am.
While the north of the city will have heavier snowfall indicated by a darker purple on the map, other parts of the city have a lighter hue meaning lighter snow is expected.
The potential snowfall forecast by WXCharts comes as the Met Office has issued its warning for London.
The meteorological service has warned there could be snow in the capital this weekend as it issued a yellow weather warning for parts of the UK including Greater London.
The yellow weather warning for snow and ice will go into effect at midday on Saturday (January 4) and ends at 9am on Monday (January 6).
Despite the warning in place for the city, the Met Office’s individual forecast for Greater London currently only shows rain for the majority of the weekend including Sunday.
