UK Forecast - January 17, 2023
Cold but mostly sunny
Frost and local snow showers

Wednesday
Another chilly day with brisk northerly winds making it feel bitter. Dry with plenty of sunshine for central and southern regions. Snow showers running inland from coasts in the north and west of Scotland, Wales and into Devon and Cornwall, rain at times only on lowest ground nearest to coasts. Local showers may graze eastern coasts of England for a time too. Frost and ice in the morning and soon again by evening. Highs 1 to 5C, feeling sub-zero in the wind.


Wednesday night
Some further snow showers feeding inland across north and western Scotland, Northern Ireland, also around the Irish Sea, a mix of sleet or rain on low ground near the coast, but widely snow inland. Breezy near coasts, lighter winds inland. Generally dry for central, east and southern England. Variable cloud but lengthy clear spells. Extensive frost and ice, lows of -1 or -2C in many towns and cities, -3 to -5C rurally, locally nearer -10C, especially in Scotland.


Thursday
Most places will be dry with sunny spells and fairly light northwesterly winds as pressure builds a little from the west. Snow showers again moving inland for northern Scotland. A few light showers with snow flurries affecting coastal areas in west and north Wales, one or two for Cheshire too. Possibly some rain for Cornwall for a time where it will be milder. Breezier near to eastern coasts, feeling very chilly again. Highs 2 to 4C, locally 7C southwest.


Friday
Fairly high pressure over Britain leads to mainly dry conditions. Mostly light winds. Variable cloud, some fog and areas of sunshine. Fronts located to the west bring cloud and rain to Ireland, fringing into west and southwestern England and Wales, perhaps becoming generally damp here but slightly milder. Possible sleet or snow on the leading edge of this in the hills. A frosty start leading to a cool day for most. Highs 3 to 8C, mildest toward the southwest.
