London is set for flurries of snow this weekend.
The Met Office and BBC Weather said most Londoners should prepare for another weekend of light to moderate snow.
Forecasts predict snow showers mid-to-late Saturday morning, between the hours of 6am and 10am.
It comes one week after heavy snow fell across the captial.
Here is the BBC forecast for London this weekend:
Saturday:
Cloudy and blustery with rain that will turn to sleet and snow at times in the higher hills and even possibly down to lower levels as it turns colder.
Outlook for Sunday to Tuesday:
Sunday will start dry with plenty of sunshine but clouds will increase in the afternoon and there is the chance of some rain late. Monday will be cloudy and generally dry although there is the chance of a shower or spot of rain. Tuesday will be blustery and milder with rain early tapering to a few showers.
Here is the Met Office forecast for London this weekend:
Saturday:
Persistent band of rain at first, some snow possible, mainly over hills and along its northern edge. Rain and snow easing during the afternoon. Cold, and windy with coastal gales. Maximum temperature 5C.
Outlook for Sunday to Tuesday:
Dry Sunday and cold, but cloudy. Some rain, perhaps brief snow overnight. Fine, dry but cold Monday. Further rain and strong winds clearing northeast Tuesday morning and turning milder.
What do others say?
Weather forecaster Netweather has produced a snow risk map which shows a blanket of heavy snow arriving from the west on Sunday.
During January 31, the snow risk moves across the country, where it eventually forecasts a smattering of snow later on Sunday.
The Netweather maps also show a lower risk of snow on Thursday, February 4.
The map predicts western regions will snow with around a 30 percent chance.
Forecaster Windy.com also shows a risk of snow in London across the next 10 days.
The weather forecaster’s new snow map shows up to 0.8 inches (2cm) of snowfall is possible in the next 10 days in western regions.
The forecaster’s snow depth map shows the snow is most likely to fall late on Sunday, January 31, through to the early hours of Monday, February 1.
The snow appears to dissipate completely across the capital by Monday afternoon.
The weather forecast for London in the coming week advises of outbreaks of light rain and drizzle through Tuesday evening and the first half of the night.
These conditions will gradually move eastwards with western parts turning drier towards dawn.
Things will be rather breezy along the south coast, but it will be milder than recent nights.
The minimum temperature overnight will be 3C.
