Exact Hour Second Snow Bomb Hits: Birmingham and Midlands to Be Buried by Sunday

Following closely after Storm Goretti, a second powerful snow bomb is poised to blanket Birmingham and the Midlands with heavy snowfall this Sunday, January 11. According to WX Charts, which uses Meteorological Desk data, this fresh surge of Arctic weather will impact 25 counties across northern England starting from midday, continuing into the evening.

By 9 p.m., prolonged snow showers are expected to leave Birmingham buried under a thick new layer of snow. Weather maps glow bright white Saturday night into Sunday, signaling a significant wintry shift as cold Arctic air returns.

Looking ahead to next week, the BBC Weather forecast indicates a complex pattern. Atlantic low-pressure systems will influence southern regions, bringing unsettled conditions with periodic rain and occasional strong winds. Temperatures in the south are expected to remain above average overall, although brief cold snaps could trigger wintry precipitation on higher ground.

Meanwhile, the northern UK will experience colder-than-average temperatures, especially in Scotland, combined with drier conditions interrupted by occasional wintry showers. Between these mild southern and cold northern zones, there will be opportunities for more snow accumulation, primarily across central parts of the UK.

The Met Office confirms the outlook of a warming trend after this cold spell: milder air will spread across the UK starting Monday, with the lingering cold retreating from the far northeast. Brisk southwesterly winds will bring a noticeable change in conditions. Though some rain and showers may occur, many areas will enjoy dry spells with occasional bright intervals, particularly near elevated terrain.

This milder air will push temperatures above average, promoting a rapid thaw of any remaining snow in northern Scotland. Nevertheless, the approaching weekend’s second snow bomb could bring significant disruption, especially in Birmingham and the Midlands.
