Wintry showers will bring some snow accumulations in places, with ice a more widespread risk, leading to some disruption

Issue date: 2026-01-09T09:43+00:00

Whilst not all areas will be affected, scattered wintry showers will continue to feed inland from the North Sea through Friday afternoon, evening and overnight into Saturday morning. These are likely to give some snow accumulations in places, more especially on hills above 100m elevation where 2-5 cm will be possible. As much as 10-15 cm could accumulate on hills above 300m elevation in parts of central and/or eastern Scotland. Ice will be a more widespread hazard, especially overnight as temperatures fall widely below freezing, particularly away from immediate windward coasts.
