The Met Office has predicted that there could be snow showers next week for much of the North East.

It doesn’t look like we’re out of the woods yet when it comes to snow and colder temperatures.

According to the long-range forecast from the Met Office, the forecaster has predicted “cold weather” with overnight frost and fog patches.

The forecast, which reveals weather conditions between Monday, February 6 and Wednesday, February 15, warns that “very cold conditions” could move in from the east.

It adds that these cold conditions could bring “snow showers” as well.

Forecaster WXCharts has revealed that up to 1cm of snow could fall next Friday with their weather map showing the UK to be completely covered in snow.

The full long-range forecast between Monday, February 6 and Wednesday, February 15 reads: “Mostly fine with sunny spells on Monday, although cloudier in the northwest with some rain. Light or moderate winds for most, becoming stronger in the northwest, with a risk of coastal gales.

“From Tuesday, high pressure tends to dominate, with any frontal systems most active in the northwest, but quickly weakening as they stagger southeast across the UK.

“For many, there should be plenty of mostly dry if rather cold weather, likely lasting a few days, with overnight frost and perhaps some fog patches in the south and a small chance of very cold conditions and snow showers moving in from the east.

“However, most likely is a resumption of wetter, windier and milder weather from the west after a few days of cold conditions.”

It comes as the region was recently battered buy strong winds with some areas of the country seeing up to 80mph.

The national weather service put a yellow weather warning in place for the whole of Scotland from 8 pm on Tuesday to 9 am today (Wednesday, February 1). 

The extreme weather, caused by a deep area of low pressure passing to the north of Scotland, will likely cause strong winds in the north of England, meteorologists have said.

The Met Office has said that the strong winds could lead to some travel disruption or cancellation of road, rail, air and ferry services as well as longer journey times in some areas.
