UK weather LIVE – Exact date ‘Storm Gladys’ set to hit UK this week bringing snow as Met Office issues warnings

A NEW storm is set to hit the UK this week, just days after the unruly weather from Storm Eunice.

The next storm is set to be called Gladys, as it is next on the Met Office’s list of names. However it has not yet been confirmed and named by forecasters, but the Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning as 60mph gale force winds.

Storm Gladys could bring more torrential downpour and heavy winds across the country from Thursday, wreaking further havoc.

Parts of the UK including London and Bristol could see up to 2cm of snowfall per hour on Thursday, according to the latest weather graphs by WXcharts.

Snow will reach the north of England from 6pm on Wednesday continuing down to the Midlands overnight, according to the latest predictions.

Bristol could see snowy weather between 9am and midday on Thursday when there is a chance snow will scatter parts of southern England.
