Full list of places in UK set to be hit with snow blast on New Year’s Day that threatens ‘significant disruption’

The Met Office has issued a weather warning

Many of you may have been dreaming of a white Christmas but that’s not what most of us got – we didn’t open our curtains to see the landscape dusted with a festive dollop of snow, but instead had some pretty disappointing grey skies.

However, don’t think that you’ll get through winter without encountering any snow at all, because the Met Office has issued weather warnings to let people know that that white powder is going to fall in some parts of the UK.

For the final two days of the year there are some rain and snow weather warnings for the north of Scotland, with the warning in place for New Year’s Eve tipped to ‘bring significant disruption’ to people preparing to usher in 2025.

Meanwhile, on New Year’s Day the weather is really expected to turn for many in the UK as Met Office warnings have been issued for parts of Scotland, Northern Ireland and England.

To go along with it pretty much all of England and Wales have been slapped with a warning about the wind, and while many people are being snowed upon it sounds like it’ll be pouring down with rain in parts of Wales.

The New Year’s Day weather warning over snow says we’re in for a ‘heavy and persistent’ snowfall that could cause disruptions (this is the UK, of course it will) and delays to travel, though fortunately the chances of power cuts and rural communities being cut off is deemed to be small.

There’s expected to be between two and five centimetres of snowfall across the areas affected by the weather warning, though in some spots the snowfall is expected to be nearer 10cm.

Meanwhile, since the hills always get the most snow some higher areas can expect up to 25cm of snow, and the wind warning in place is expected to blow it about a lot.
