For Birmingham and the West Midlands, the snow forecast for the coming week shows a low probability of significant accumulation, with any flurries likely confined to higher ground above 200 metres on Thursday morning. The broader UK picture remains unsettled but mild for lowland areas.

Where is snow most likely in the UK over the next 14 days?

The most reliable snow forecast 14 days ahead points to the Scottish Highlands and the Grampians, where overnight temperatures will dip below freezing. A snow forecast UK map from the Met Office indicates a 40–60% chance of transient snow on the Pennines and Dartmoor, but for cities like Manchester and London, the snow forecast near Manchester and snow forecast near London both suggest only a slight dusting, if any, with rain dominating.

What about snow in the Alps and Europe?

For skiers, the snow forecast Alps 14 days outlook is more promising: resorts above 1,500 metres in the French and Swiss Alps can expect 20–40 cm of fresh snow from mid-week. A 14-day snow forecast Europe overview shows the Pyrenees and Austrian Alps also benefiting from a cold northerly flow, while lower resorts may see rain mixing in.

Snow risk periodThursday morning to Friday evening
Highest accumulationScottish Highlands: 5–10 cm above 300 m
Lowland citiesBirmingham, London, Manchester: <1 cm likely
Alps depth20–40 cm above 1,500 m by Friday
Will it snow in Birmingham this week?

Birmingham’s snow forecast inches are minimal—less than half an inch possible on higher ground like the Lickey Hills. The city centre should see only rain, with temperatures hovering around 3–5°C.

How accurate is a 14-day snow forecast?

Long-range snow forecast 14 days models have moderate reliability for broad patterns but low precision for exact locations. Check the 10 Day Weather Forecast UK for a more reliable short-term view.

Where can I see a live snow forecast map?

The Met Office’s precipitation radar and the UK weather hub on DailyCity provide updated snow forecast map visuals. For Europe, the ECMWF model offers a 14-day snow forecast Europe outlook.
