The Met Office has issued a new warning that snow and ice could be on the way, with a northerly airflow set to bring disruptive weather next week. 

The forecaster is predicting that "temperatures are likely to stay well below average for much of next week, with an increasing chance of snow".  

Images from its long-range weather forecast show snow first making landfall in Norfolk on Tuesday.

It will continue to move across the county until at least 6pm.

 

Several areas could see snowfall, including Norwich, Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft, as well as parts of south Norfolk and the north Norfolk coast at Wells and Cromer.

The BBC forecast, however, suggests the county is more likely to see sleet on Tuesday, with snow predicted to arrive later, on Thursday or early Friday. 

The weather warnings come after a major Sudden Stratospheric Warming (SSW) was reported last month

The same weather phenomenon brought the Beast from the East to Norfolk in 2018.
