ANOTHER dumping of snow is heading for Andover this weekend.

The Met Office have said Sunday will be cold and windy with a chance of snow showers between 6am and 9am.

The cold snap looks likely to continue into next week with temperature highs of just 3 degrees Celsius and lows on -1 degree Celsius forecast until next Friday (February 12).

A low pressure system is set to slowly cross southern England andwill pull away to the south east allowing a flow of cold air from the eastern continent to enter the UK, affecting eastern and south-eastern areas first.

From Saturday, the emphasis on cold conditions extends further south to include a combined snow and ice warning for eastern England as conditions further south are forecast to turn increasingly wintry.

Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist, Mark Sidaway, added: “Although amounts of snow across England are likely to be less than seen across Scotland, the potential is there for some heavy snow across eastern England later in the weekend, and perhaps elsewhere in southern Britain as we head into next week, with very cold easterly winds.”

Next week will stay chilly for much of the UK with brisk easterly winds making it feel even colder. However, the weather is potentially drier than this week.
