All the dates snow could hit UK in April as Met Office says 'there's a risk'

According to Ventusky weather maps, the grim weather will be particularly bad on Monday, April 15 from 7am after a balmy weekend.

UK weather maps show the exact days snow and storms will hit this week after a warm weekend. According to Ventusky weather maps, the grim weather will be particularly bad on Monday, April 15 from 7am after a balmy weekend.

A three-day 22C mini-heatwave has hit swathes of the south of England including London, the capital city. But the weather will deteriorate as a new week begins, bringing with it the prospect of snowfall in some areas, Ventusky states.

Met Office forecaster Alex Burkill said in a preview ahead of the new week beginning tomorrow (Monday April 15): "There is a fairly good chance that we could see high pressure dominating across the whole of the country and that means it is going to turn markedly drier than it has been.

"Not necessarily sunny, there could be quite a bit of cloud around but it does look like we are going to see a more prolonged dry spell than we have seen through many recent weeks and months, to be honest." He went on: "We are going to see some colder air plunging its way in as we go into the beginning of next week so things are going to turn markedly cooler.

"What happens thereafter, well the low-pressure system that is affecting us through the latter part of the weekend and the start of next week, by the time we get to Tuesday, that is going to have shifted away towards Scandinavia and then we see high pressure building from the west.

"So Tuesday is something of a transition day in the sense that there will still be some showery rain around and we will end up with a bit of a northerly flow so quite a bit of a cold direction, so quite a chilly day on Tuesday with some showery rain around.

"But if we skip forward a couple of days and by Thursday we are likely to have high pressure pushing its way in, becoming a bit more dominant across the western parts of the UK, perhaps still some rain around towards the north, but turning drier."

The Met Office forecast from April 16 to 25 reads: "Winds from the north or northwest are expected to affect the UK at the start of this period. This brings showers or some longer spells of rain, these most frequent across the north and northwest. Some heavy rain is possible at times with a risk of snow over high ground."

Looking from April 28 onwards, it added: "Towards the end of April, high pressure will probably be close to the UK with a good deal of dry weather for many areas. Moving into May, these settled conditions will probably move northwards, with the driest weather across the northwest of the UK. If any more unsettled conditions develop these are more likely to affect south with a risk of some heavy rain or showers. Temperatures will probably be close to average overall, with warm days but some colder nights."
