Snow: Why we hardly ever see any of the white stuff in Peterborough

Today (January 2) is forecast to stay dry – but cold, with the temperatures only reaching a maximum of 3C – and the ‘feels like’ temperatures remaining below freezing.

It is a very similar picture tomorrow (Friday), with dry, but cold weather. For those venturing out in the rush hour on Friday morning, the advice is to wrap up warm, with the ‘feels like’ temperature at 8am forecast to be a bitter -6C.

Saturday morning will see the same freezing temperatures stay in Peterborough, with the chance of the odd shower in the evening. The Met Office say these showers may turn wintry – but only with sleet, not snow, at about 9pm.

Sunday will see light rain join the cold temperatures – although it will warm up later in the day, with the possibility of the mercury reaching 10C by 9pm.

Monday morning rush hour will see the last of the rain – but a return to the chillier temperatures.
