Met Office warns of 'wintry showers' in UK later this week

The Met Office has warned of 'wintry showers' later this week.

In the North West of England, forecasters have predicted a bout of cold weather.

It comes after Storm Corrie brought winds of 92mph to the UK late on Sunday.

It followed Storm Malik, which blew down trees, damaged power lines and ripped roofs off homes in the north of England and Scotland on Saturday.

Storm Corrie pushed into the North Sea in the early hours of Monday, leaving cold and blustery conditions behind.

Met Office spokesman Richard Miles said the next few days will be much calmer before a cold snap with wintry showers hits the UK on Thursday.

Sharing the latest forecast for the North West, the Met Office said: "[Tonight] remains mild overnight with any cloud breaks tending to fill in.

"Patchy light rain and drizzle at times, most persistent over the hills. Winds becoming lighter.

"[Wednesday's] generally cloudy with a few pockets of light rain and drizzle at times. The odd brighter spell is possible and it will feel mild with lighter winds than on Tuesday.

"Some heavier rain later on Thursday afternoon as winds turn blustery again. Colder on Friday with sunshine and wintry showers. Turning cloudier, milder and windier again on Saturday."
