Wednesday 17/01/2024 A showery day for the northern and western parts, with snow showers being heavy and blustery over Northern Ireland, the Hebrides, the Northern Isles, Sutherland and Caithness, Northwest Highland, Moray and Northern Aberdeenshire. A few showers are possible over northwest England too, these wintry down to the surface. Further south there is a risk for thicker cloud and snow to arrive over the southern parts of England, but still there is low confidence on this forecast. In case snow arrives in snow, it will result in some accumulations of fresh snow even down to low levels. It will be another cold day with temperatures at around freezing in north in the afternoon, but up to 3C in south.
