This is the full list of areas where it could snow in the UK next week.

Following what is likely to be a wet and miserable weekend for many Brits, with a huge severe weather warning covering much of England, parts of the UK could see snow towards the middle and end of this week.

From Saturday afternoon, at 3pm, there is a severe rain warning in place, threatening to bring disruption to travel and possible flooding. It originally covered all of England but was downgraded to the South East, East Anglia, South West, and parts of the East Midlands and South Wales too.

But once this weekend's rain is out the way, there's the chance of snow later this week. WXCharts have forecast that on February 22 and 23 there is the chance of some snow across parts of England, Wales and Scotland.

With the worst of the snow due to hit Thursday, flurries could potentially turn heavy at times. Friday, snow will be less intense and less widespread. Initially, there will be lighter snow across Wales, stretching across central parts and the west coast.

This includes Aberystwyth, Newton, Llangollen, parts of Snowdonia and up to Colwyn Bay. In England, snow is possible up through Manchester, into the North West leading through across the Scottish border.

List of areas that could be hit by snow this week:

February 22:

• Bannau Brycheiniog National Park
• Parts of central and north west Wales including Aberystwyth, Newton, Llangollen into Snowdonia and up to Calowyn Bay
• Manchester
• Blackpool Lancaster, up across the Peak District to the Scottish border
• Dumfries, Castle Douglas, up north to Glasgow, then moving to the north east of Scotland covering Stirling, Dundee, and Aberdeen

February 23:

• Towns and villages around the Peak District
• Pockets of north west Wales
• Western coast of Scotland

But before Brits can enjoy any snow, they’ve got to get through the rain this weekend. The yellow severe warning is in place from 3pm today until 6pm tomorrow and covers all of England.

The Met Office said: “An area of persistent and occasionally heavy rain is expected to move from west to east across the warning area during Saturday and Sunday, falling on already saturated ground. Rain will clear western areas early Sunday, whilst rate of clearance from east and southeast England is open to some uncertainty, but all areas should become dry by evening.”
