New UK weather map shows only seven counties will be spared snow and -10C cold snap this week

The latest weather map has revealed the parts of England that are likely to escape a 15-inch snow blast and -10C temperatures this week. The maps and charts from Ventusky and WX Charts, which both utilise Met Desk data, depict the wintry conditions sweeping across the country.

England won't be exempt from the snowfall, which isn't just limited to Scotland. Instead, large areas of Yorkshire and Lancashire are expected to be affected, with the Met Office's yellow weather warnings in place from today (Sunday) through to Tuesday.

York, West Yorkshire, North Yorkshire, Lancashire and the Pennines are all forecast to experience flurries. The north east of England - spanning from Northumbria to Cumbria - could also wake up to a dusting in the coming days, but the worst of the snow will hit the Pennines, which could see as much as 38cm, reports Birmingham Live.

By Saturday November 23, the weather maps show a white hue over Birmingham and the Midlands, extending down to the south coast in Hampshire and Southampton. According to these maps, London and Greater London are also predicted to receive a dusting, while Wales and Northern Ireland will see accumulations too.

The areas likely to be spared appear to be the east of England - specifically Cambridgeshire, Suffolk and Norfolk, as well as Essex. The South West - Bristol, Cornwall and Devon - also seems unlikely to see any snow,

Gloucestershire might also escape the worst of it. The Met Office's early forecast for the end of this week and into December states: "Signals vary in prevailing weather patterns through early December. In general, there looks like a trend towards drier and more settled conditions, with high pressure potentially being the more dominant influence over the UK."

"However. there is also a chance of more changeable weather patterns, which would see Atlantic weather systems periodically move across the country. These will bring some wetter and windier interludes with a risk of some snow, especially for hills in the north. Temperatures generally close to average, perhaps a little above at times, especially in the south."
