The UK is bracing for snow and storms as a powerful Jet Stream from the US brings unsettled weather this week
Gloucester: The UK is gearing up for some wild weather. The Met Office has warned us to expect snow and possibly a named storm soon. A deep low pressure is on its way.
This low pressure is being pushed by a powerful Jet Stream. It’s fueled by the cold snap over North America. So, we can expect wet and windy days ahead, especially in the north.
They say we might see weather warnings or even a named storm. Temperatures should rise a bit, but it might not feel like it. It’s going to be a mixed bag for sure.
The BBC Weather team mentioned that the Jet Stream is super strong this week, with winds hitting 250 mph. That’s going to make for some quick flights across the Atlantic.
Chris Fawkes from the BBC said this Jet Stream is one of the strongest he’s ever seen. It’s bringing some serious winds, but thankfully, the worst should stay away from our shores.
Still, we’ll feel some gales and heavy rain as January wraps up. The temperatures won’t hit double figures for most of the week, with highs around 7°C on Monday.
Wednesday might be a bit chillier, dropping to 5°C. But Friday could see a rise to 10°C. Expect some light rain on Friday and maybe a drizzle on Sunday.
There’s a chance we’ll see the sun peeking out on Tuesday and Thursday. Saturday might also bring some sunny moments.
As we move into February, it looks like the unsettled weather will stick around. We’ll have rain, showers, and strong winds, but also some brighter spells in between.
