Scotland could be hit by another cold snap next month as a rare weather phenomenon threatens to bring snow and ice-cold temperatures.
Scotland to face 'wet and windy' January weather as cold snap comes to an end
04.01.2023 - 13:27 / dailyrecord.co.uk
After weeks of bone-chilling temperatures, travel chaos and slippery surfaces, it looks like the cold snap in Scotland could be coming to an end.
December saw record-breaking lows of -15.7 degrees in Braemar, with much of the country being blanketed in snow and ice for days at a time.
But now, due to a jet stream of milder air coming in from North America, it appears as though the extreme cold is over and January's weather will be more typical - very wet and windy, according to the Met Office.
This week, the weather sweeping towards the UK will originate from the south and west rather than east, bringing rain instead of snow.
It comes as the Met Office rebuffed claims of another Beast from the East storm hitting the UK, with meteorologist Diane Stroud telling the Mirror: "The weather is firmly from the south and west for the rest of the week.
"There is no Beast from the East."
The Met Office also said that the current mild air arriving from the Atlantic will bring "higher than average" temperatures this week, which means breaking above freezing for parts of northern Scotland.
But rain is still very much on the way for most of the UK. Forecasters said that cold air outbreaks across North America and the Pacific, both recent and upcoming, are likely to affect North Atlantic jet streams in a similar fashion in the coming days.
This means a continued wet and windy outlook for the UK, at least through the first part of January, with weather systems likely to impact the UK from the west.
Weather in the US often has the potential to affect our own, as we saw in the run-up to Christmas, where it reached a chilling -48C across the pond.
That cold snap has now come to an end, and the contrast in temperature is what's been helping to
