New UK weather maps have revealed the exact date that a hige wall of snow and ice will batter into Britain over the Christmas holidays. Current charts from forecast WX Charts show that the cold and wet weather will subside in the run up to New Year’s Eve, as temperatures are set to plummet once again.<\/p>\n

Experts predict that on Wednesday, December 27 at 6pm, large parts of the country will be completely covered by snow or rain. The huge wall of ice will cover much of the north of Enland and the southern half of Scotland, while a wall of rain travels over the North Sea directly behind it, according to predictions made a fortnight in advance.<\/p>\n

Wales is expected to bear the brunt of the rain as it threatens to hammer into the UK’s western coastline.<\/p>\n

A separate weather map by the same forecaster shows which parts of the UK will have the deepest snow at the time when heavy flurries of snow and pockets of rain will be scattered across the country.<\/p>\n

Predictably, tparts of the Scottish Highlands will see up to 24cm of snow, while rural parts of Wales will see up to 9cm. Snow is also likely to lie around Manchester and Carlisle, with depths of up to five and seven centimetres respectively.<\/p>\n

The north of England and south of Scotland is also is also expected to see large chunks of snow fall. Meanwhile the UK is also expected to be hit by heavy wind gusts, as demonstrated in the map below.<\/p>\n

The Met Office and other forecasters are also precicting that the UK will be hit by a massive ‘snow bomb’ before Christmas – so changes of snowfall on the December 25 cannot yet be ruled out.<\/p>\n

A weather chart predicting the forecast for around 12pm on December 20 shows a huge wall of snow entirely surrounding the UK coastline, with the majority of mainland Britain avoiding a dump of snow and ice. However, even a slight change in weather systems will see the country covered in snow as the mercury drops.<\/p>\n

Most of the UK will see temperatures plunge below or hover around zero degrees, according to recent estimates. Furthermore, another weather map has indicated there will be high levels of rain ahead of the big freeze, increasing the risk of icy conditions underfoot.<\/p>\n

The Met Office has predicted that some parts of the UK could still experience a white Christmas, but only in some areas. They said that if any snow falls, it will be in small bursts over Scotland or the north of England.<\/p>\n
