The latest weather maps show the exact date when Brits can expect to see parts of the country blanketed in snow.<\/p>\n

Maps suggest parts of the UK will be in the grip of a polar blast days before Christmas as temperatures look set to plummet. A weather chart generated on Saturday (December 9) by WX Charts using data from MetDesk shows up to a centimetre of snow<\/span> falling in an hour over parts of Scotland at midday on December 19.<\/p>\n

Scotland is set to bear the brunt of the late-December freeze, though snow showers may creep south, according to the charts. The snow bomb is set to ‘split Britain in half’ as the southern part of the country is set to remain bone dry why pockets of rain and snow barrel into Scotland and the north of England.<\/p>\n

Maximum temperatures in Britain on December 19 vary from 0C-4C in Scotland, 4C-8C across much of Wales, northern, central and eastern England and up to 10C along southern coasts, according to WX Charts.<\/p>\n

The Met Office’s latest, long range forecast – covering December 14-23 – says there is the potential for a band of rain across the UK before it becomes more settled later in the week as high pressure builds over the south. It expects more wet and windy weather as fronts occasionally push into northern areas.<\/p>\n

The forecaster notes: “As such, the wettest weather likely across western high ground, mainly in Scotland and occasionally parts of Northern Ireland and northwest England.”<\/p>\n

There will be settled conditions in the south with temperatures average for the time of year though it will be cloudy at times with patchy light rain near the coasts and over higher ground.<\/p>\n

Clearer spells are forecast to favour the southeast, but these will also allow potential fog or frost overnight.<\/p>\n

High pressure will potentially decline the following week, allowing a return to unsettled conditions and typically average temperatures, with the northwest bearing the brunt of the wind and rain, according to the Met Office.<\/p>\n
