Snowy View Across Glasgow Towards the Camspies in Winter
It’s freezing out there, Glasgow – but will it actually snow, like elsewhere in Scotland? That’s the question on everyone’s lips as every area above the central belt faces weather warnings galore and up to 40cm of snowfall this weekend.
It’s certainly cold enough here in the city, with highs of just 1°C today (Saturday) and a run of very chilly days ahead. The Met Office predicts a drop to lows of -3°C on Sunday, and temperatures won’t get up to 4°C until Thursday (January 8).
And while Glasgow may not fall under current weather warnings, surrounding areas do, including Argyll and Bute and West Dunbartonshire where the snow and ice alert is in place until Monday (January 5), 12pm.
The forecast for the Strathclyde region currently reads: “A few snow showers possible across parts of Argyll [on Saturday] where it will also be mostly cloudy. Elsewhere will be dry with a good deal of winter sunshine. Remaining very cold with bitter winds. Maximum temperature 2°C.
“A very cold night with cloud and the odd snow shower over parts of Argyll. Elsewhere will stay dry with mostly clear skies leading to a widespread frost. Minimum temperature -3°C.”
The forecast for Sunday is for a “similar day to Saturday” before “snow showers in the west generally easing Monday. Rain and hill snow spreading east early Tuesday.”
The Apple weather app shows snow for the week ahead…
Eagle-eyed weather watchers may have noticed the Apple weather app predicting snow – or at least a ‘wintry mix’ – on the way for Glasgow, on Tuesday (January 6), Thursday-Monday (Jan 8-12)…so we might see some white stuff yet.
Stay tuned for more weather updates as we get them.
