UK weather maps have revealed almost 40 cities could be hit as a 450-mile wall of snow moves across the UK.

This weekend is set to see several areas throughout the UK blanketed by snow. The Met Office has also pinpointed the two regions most at risk of snow.

But new WXCharts data has also forecast snow to sweep across the UK on February 22, bringing with it heavy rain, wind and bitterly cold weather.

The maps show snow could cover 24 cities in England, including Birmingham, Bradford, Coventry, Derby, Doncaster, Durham, Hull, Leeds, Leicester, Lichfield, and Lincoln.

It is also forecast to hit Manchester, Milton Keynes, Newcastle, Nottingham, Oxford, Preston, Ripon, Sheffield, Stoke, Sunderland, Wakefield, Worcester, and York.

Seven cities in Scotland (Aberdeen, Dundee, Dunfermline, Edinburgh, Inverness, Perth, Stirling) and six in Northern Ireland (Armagh, Bangor, Belfast, Lisburn, Londonderry, Newry) will also see snow.

Snow and rain showers could also fall across other parts of the UK, with snow along the west coast and rain along the south coast.

Temperatures will be lowest in central Scotland at 0C. The rest of Scotland and the north of England will sit between 2C and 4C.

The remainder of England, Wales and Northern Ireland will see temperatures between 4C and 6C.

The Met Office said in its long-range forecast for February 21 until March 7: “Weather patterns in the UK are most likely to be slowly evolving.

“It is most likely that high pressure to the east or northeast of the UK will dominate at first in some form or another, but with time this may decline, allowing an erratic transition to rather more unsettled and less cold conditions.

“During this transition there is the possibility of periods or rain or snow, at least for a time, but confidence in these details is currently very low.”
