This latest prediction follows Storm Goretti, which battered the UK with strong winds, snow, and heavy rain earlier this month.
The storm, described as a “multi-hazard event” by the Met Office, brought gusts of almost 100mph and rare red weather warnings for some parts of the country.
It also caused travel disruptions, school closures, and one death.
More snow forecast by the Met Office
More cold weather is on the way, according to the Met Office’s UK long range weather forecast (January 21 – 30), with an increased chance of snow predicted towards the end of the month.
The Met Office forecast reads: “Throughout this period, the UK will see a battle between Atlantic weather systems attempting to arrive from the west while high pressure and colder conditions attempt to exert some influence from the east.
“Initially, milder Atlantic air is expected to dominate. This should maintain often cloudy, changeable conditions with showers or longer spells of rain for most.
“The wettest weather in western parts of the country, drier in the east.
“Temperatures overall likely to be around average with some night frosts in clearer areas. Later in the period, there is an increased chance that conditions will turn colder.
“This aspect of the forecast is still somewhat uncertain but the potential transition to colder weather also increases the chance of snow across parts of the country.”
Which parts of the UK can expect more snow and when?
Snow is expected to be seen right across the UK in the coming weeks, according to weather maps from WX Charts.
The maps show (at the time of writing) snow arriving in the UK as early as Thursday (January 22) in northern parts of Scotland.

Southern parts of Wales, around Cardiff, and across the Severn Estuary towards Bristol are the next forecast to see snow from January 24.
Varying levels of snowfall are then expected right across Wales on January 28.
Southern parts of England could also receive some snow from January 26 to 29, with it most likely around the Dorset area (January 26) and near Swindon and Oxford (January 28).
Snow will then retreat a little further north to the Northumberland region on January 29.
