"Londoners might not have got a white Christmas, but it looks as though 2026 could kick off with a blast of snow for parts of the UK. And that includes the capital. Snow is notoriously hard to predict, but some early forecasts for this weekend (January 3-4) are saying that temperatures in the capital city could fall below freezing, accompanied by a flurry of the white stuff. So, prepare to wrap up, slip on your wellies and (maybe) dust off that toboggan."
"The Met Office hasn't forecast snow specifically for London yet, but in its long range forecast from January 2-11 it says that 'there are likely to be some more coherent bands of rain, sleet and snow working south, and these may bring a risk of more prolonged wintry precipitation affecting some inland areas'. It predicts 'wintry showers' on both Saturday and Sunday."
Temperatures in London are expected to fall to around -1C on the first weekend of January 2026, with light snowfall possible. Light snow is forecast between 8am and 11am on Saturday January 3, and again from about 8pm Saturday until 3am Sunday morning. Long-range forecasting indicates bands of rain, sleet, and snow may move south, bringing a risk of prolonged wintry precipitation inland and wintry showers over the weekend. Exact snowfall amounts are uncertain but likely light. No weather warnings have been issued for London, so transport disruption is expected to be minimal though conditions could change closer to the weekend.
