Where will snow fall in the UK over the next 14 days?
A cold northerly airflow will bring frequent wintry showers to northern and eastern areas, with more widespread snow possible mid-week. The snow forecast 14 days suggests the highest risk remains over high ground in Scotland and northern England, but lower levels could see a dusting.
- Scotland: Accumulations above 200m, with several centimetres likely on hills around the Cairngorms and Grampians.
- Northern England: Pennines and North York Moors may see 2–5 cm; lower valleys could get a light covering.
- Midlands and south: Mainly rain or sleet, but a snow forecast near Manchester shows a chance of wet snow settling briefly on grass.
- London and the South East: Very low probability – any snow would be fleeting and confined to the highest parts of the Chilterns.

What about snow in the Alps and Europe?
A series of Atlantic lows will bring significant snowfall to the Alps over the next two weeks. The snow forecast Alps 14 days indicates good conditions for ski resorts above 1,500m, with up to 50 cm possible in the northern Alps.
- Northern Alps (French, Swiss, Austrian): Heavy snow above 1,200m, with the best accumulations in the western Alps.
- Southern Alps (Italian side): Less snow, but higher resorts above 1,800m will see decent cover.
- Lowland Europe: The 14-day snow forecast Europe shows only a small chance of snow in the Low Countries and northern Germany, mainly on higher ground.
- Snow depth is often measured in centimetres; a snow forecast inches conversion is useful for UK readers: 5 cm ≈ 2 inches.
Will it snow in London?
Very unlikely. The snow forecast near London shows only a slim chance of a few wet flakes mixing with rain on higher ground to the north-west, but no accumulation is expected.
How accurate are 14-day snow forecasts?
Beyond five days, confidence drops sharply. A snow forecast 14 days gives a broad trend rather than precise timings or amounts. Check the snow forecast map for updates as the event nears.
What should I do if driving in snow?
Plan your route using the snow forecast UK map, allow extra time, and carry warm clothing, a shovel and a phone charger. Check Gov.uk for live road updates.
