on Monday, elsewhere, strong winds, heavy rain and hill snow will move into northwestern areas.  Wintry showers of rain, sleet, hail and snow will then follow from Tuesday. Towards the end of the week there are now signs of some less cold weather, reducing the likelihood of frost, ice and snow

central and western Scotland during the early hours. By dawn much of the persistent rain across southern areas had cleared away south-eastwards to leave behind a scattering of showers, some of which were on the heavy side with hail and thunder especially across western Scotland. Showers continued

torrential rain, hail and lightning strikes. Lightning can cause power cuts and disrupt other utilities and services. Torrential rain and hail can lead to flooding and make driving difficult – with big differences in road conditions from one place to another. Extreme Heat Whilst many of us like

, resulting in more accurate temperature forecasts, more accurate predictions of rain, hail and snow, and more accurate weather symbols.   “It’s taken big scientific investment to get to this stage, so it’s an important milestone for the Met Office, and there are more exciting developments to come

This addressed the problem of there appearing to be snow when it is warm (actually hail, which was previously lumped in with snow). UKV

, the north and west are likely to see more unsettled weather. READ MORE: Met Office Weather Deep Dive: A change is on the way Showers will be most frequent and intense across Scotland, Northern Ireland, and northern England,  areas where hail and thunder are possible. This could impact matches

and western areas, with the showers falling as a mixture of rain, hail, sleet and snow. Rain is more likely near coasts but a few centimetres of snow in some inland parts is possible. Tuesday night sees the risk of ice on untreated surfaces. Yellow severe weather warnings are in place for snow and ice

accompanying lightning and hail, and there could be some difficult driving conditions with a small chance of some localised surface-water flooding due to the volume of rain in a relatively short period of time.   “Some places within the warning area will miss the heaviest of the showers, but isolated

, and as we move through next week often below average temperatures could support a mixture of rain, hail sleet and snow. Most of any snow accumulation is likely over higher parts of the northern UK.  “However, at this point significant differences in the computer models emerge. Most solutions lead

, and has been plotted in 5-minute intervals below. Radar imagery Initial analysis of 5 km radar data, indicates that some points may have had over 100 mm in just 3 to 4 hours. Please note: The empirical relationship between radar reflectivity and rainfall rate is fixed whereas in reality this is highly dependent on precipitation type and is very different for rain and hail.
