Nottingham snow forecast: The exact 12-hour window when snow could hit Nottingham this week

Nottingham could experience snowfall this week as temperatures dip across the UK, according to the Met Office.

Freezing temperatures are set to dominate the second full week of February as low pressure arrives from Scandinavia.

Frank Saunders, Met Office Chief Meteorologist, said: “It’s worth being aware that despite a largely pleasant week ahead, there’s a good chance the UK will experience a dip in temperatures at the weekend and into next week.

“High-pressure is set to move in, bringing along with it easterly winds, low temperatures and an increasing risk of wintry hazards like snow and ice. We’ll know more as the week goes on so it’s worth keeping up-to-date with the forecast in your area.”
