Is the rain's reign truly over? Met Office's latest forecast offers a glimmer of hope, but it's a complex story. After relentless rainfall across the UK, a brief respite is on the horizon. Colder conditions will sweep in, bringing a temporary halt to the rain. An Arctic Maritime air mass will move south, introducing sleet and snow, especially at higher elevations. Jason Kelly, chief forecaster, clarifies: 'Settling snow will mainly be confined to high ground. Scotland and northern England locations above 200 meters may see 2-5cm of snow, while those above 300 meters could reach up to 10cm.' But don't celebrate just yet! As the rain and snow clear, temperatures will plummet, leading to icy conditions on untreated surfaces. The good news? Saturday promises sunshine and dry skies for many. However, the calm won't last long. From Sunday, a weather front will sweep in from the west, bringing rain, strong winds, and snow to northern areas. So, while the rain's reign may be ending, it's a temporary pause in the storm. Stay tuned for the latest updates on our website, YouTube, social media, and mobile app.
