After already experiencing two bouts of snowfall this January, Birmingham may face a third and fourth round of wintery conditions later this month, according to the latest weather maps.
The city has been covered in snow twice this month, including flakes brought by Storm Goretti. But before January concludes, residents should prepare for two more potential snowfall events expected next week.
Weather data from WX Charts indicates that snowfall could begin over Birmingham at midnight on January 28, with up to 5cm (1.9 inches) anticipated. Snowfall may last approximately 12 hours, with 2.3cm (0.9 inches) expected by 6am, followed by an additional 0.5cm by midday. The snow is forecasted to clear after midday.

A second, lighter snowfall could arrive on Friday, January 30, as weather maps show smaller flakes expected to sprinkle over the city, marking a possible end to Birmingham’s snowy start to 2026.
Meanwhile, the Met Office cautions that weather systems moving from the Atlantic will bring spells of rain in the latter part of January. However, temperatures may drop, increasing the risk of snow showers, particularly over hilly regions in Scotland and northern England.
A Met Office spokesperson explained: “Weather systems moving in from the Atlantic will continue to push in from the west but are expected to stall near the UK, encountering high pressure to the north and northeast. This will bring periods of rain or showers, some heavy and persistent, especially in southern and western areas. While milder conditions may settle in the south and southwest at times, a cold snap is likely with snow showers mainly across hills in Scotland and northern England.”
