Snow is starting to fall in parts of Merseyside, with a forecast of up to 20cm snow in other areas across the UK. The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for snow and ice from 7 pm today until 10 am on Tuesday, covering a large part of the UK. Forecasters have warned that the snow could cause disruptions on Monday night and Tuesday morning, with possibilities of power cuts, mobile phone coverage issues, and delays or cancellations of bus and train services.
In Merseyside, the city centre, south Liverpool, and east Liverpool are expected to be affected by the snow, according to the latest Met Office map. However, areas in north Liverpool, Knowsley, and St Helens are also covered by the weather warning. The warning area starts near Kirkby and extends to the west, covering most of Knowsley and St Helens. The warning continues eastward, reaching beyond Manchester into Yorkshire.
As the snowfall begins across the region, reporters have shared updates on the conditions. Reporter Ryan Paton posted a photo of heavy snowfall outside The Old Tap in Waterloo, while Emily Carubia captured snowfall on Dale Street in a photo. The map shows the expected snowfall across the UK for the week, with Liverpool city centre already experiencing snowfall on St Paul’s Square.
The winter weather event is expected to continue, so residents in affected areas are advised to take precautions and stay updated on the latest weather reports. Drive safely on icy roads, dress warmly, and be prepared for possible disruptions in transportation services.
