The precise hour that snow will stop falling in Birmingham has been confirmed following the impact of Storm Goretti, which brought intense snowfall to the city overnight. The Met Office’s hourly weather forecasts reveal that while Birmingham experienced snowfall throughout the early hours of Friday, January 9, the snow will cease by mid-morning.
An amber warning for snow remains in effect for Wales, the Midlands, and parts of northern England but is set to be lifted at 9 a.m. Correspondingly, the snow is forecast to end around this time, offering relief to residents.
Snow showers are expected hourly from 5 a.m. through 8 a.m., but by 9 a.m., the flurries will stop entirely. Despite the clearing weather, travel disruptions continue, with Birmingham Airport halting runway use and train cancellations in Cornwall and Devon. Additionally, over 65,000 homes remain without power across the South West and Midlands.
