When will it snow again? Latest weather forecast after Storm Goretti hits UK - bringing heavy snowfall and travel chaos
The risk of significant and disruptive snow has disappeared for now after Storm Goretti brought heavy snowfall last night.
The Met Office has forecast rain for today, and has not mentioned any further snowfall. It says for today’s forecast: “Storm Goretti will slowly edge away, but rain and some snow continuing across the east of England. Elsewhere, a mixture of clear and sunny spells with a scattering of wintry showers in places. Windy and feeling cold.”
For tonight: “Rain and sleet slowly clearing the east of England, with wintry showers continuing elsewhere, mostly along coastal region. Another cold night with widespread frost and ice. Winds easing further east.”
Snow is expected to hit the UK again on Sunday. A a weather system is expected to move in from the west on Saturday.

This won’t be another storm like Goretti, but an area of heavy rain will move eastward and for some across Wales, northern England and Scotland, it’ll turn to heavy snow for a time on Sunday morning. The Met Office has issued a yellow warning from 02:00 GMT Sunday to 15:00 for northern England and Scotland where 10-20cm, perhaps up to 30cm is possible over the hills.
At lower levels there may be a covering of a few centimetres. But snow will be temporary as much milder air will be moving in behind this rain, so temperatures are expected to rise into double figures for many by the end of Sunday.
Yellow warnings mean people should expect possible travel delays, power cuts and a chance of injuries from slips, the Met says.
