While sub-zero temperatures are no stranger to January, we have to be honest here – the heating bill has been off the charts during the past week. Plus Liverpool has had its Yellow Weather Warning for Ice extended once again. However, the cold snap in England is not over yet, with freezing temperatures set to continue throughout the week. So, let’s have a look at when is this chilly weather really coming to an end.
Tonight (January 7) will see temperatures going down to 0, with a real feel prediction of -1. Wednesday, January 8 and Thursday, January 9 are getting even colder with lows of -3 and -1 respectively and highs of 3 and 4 degrees. Friday, January 10 is still going to be chilly, with highs of 2 and lows of 1.
The Met Office said for their Wednesday, January 8 forecast: “A cold and frosty but bright start to Wednesday with sunshine turning hazy through the afternoon in the south. Feeling cold, but winds lighter than on Tuesday. Maximum temperature 3 °C.”
The forecast between Thursday, January 9 and Saturday, January 11 said: “Remaining cold with further overnight frosts. Staying dry on Thursday with plenty of sunshine. Cloudier on Friday with perhaps some rain and hill snow on Saturday.”
And finally, looks like the cold snap is officially ending on Sunday, January 12, with temperatures in Liverpool going up to 7 degrees, with lows of 5 degrees.
The Met Office stated in their long-range forecast between January 12 and January 21: “High pressure is likely to build from the south close-to or over the UK throughout this period, with generally settled conditions prevailing for many. Cloud amounts will be variable and often large, with a chance of some fog developing under clearer spells, which could be slow to clear.
Frontal systems may affect some parts of the UK though, these more likely towards the northwest of the UK, bringing some rain and windier conditions here. Any systems are likely to be fairly weak though as they run into the high pressure. Temperatures are likely to be generally around or a little above average in the north and west, although southern and eastern parts may be colder at times, especially where overnight fog and frost is slow to clear.”
Is it going to snow in Glasgow?
The weather is looking clear until the end of the week, so no snow is currently forecast for Liverpool.
So, it looks like we just have to bear it until the end of the week for the cold snap in Liverpool to end, folks!
