An Arctic blast intensifying across the UK is set to bring more sleet and snow to parts of southern England and south Wales on Wednesday.

The Met Office's early morning radar showed an area of rain moving in from the south and west, which was starting to turn increasingly to sleet and snow as it pushed north and east. Scattered snow and hail showers are also set to impact Scotland's northern coasts.

The forecasting body's chief meteorologist, Matthew Lehnert, said the weather could cut off rural communities in the north and impact travel over the next few days across southern England and south Wales.

Several national severe warnings for snow and ice have been issued, with the Met Office saying further warnings, or updates to the current warnings, are "very likely".

Expect 'snow, ice and low temperatures' this week

The Met Office's chief meteorologist, Matthew Lehnert, said "snow, ice and low temperatures" were the main themes of this week's forecast, explaining the UK was under an Arctic maritime air mass.

"The focus for the snow moves to southern England and South Wales tomorrow and some may wake up to a few centimetres of snow, with the south coast and far south-west likely to see a mix of rain and sleet," he said. 

"Further snow and hail showers are also expected along northern coasts, especially in northern Scotland."

He added: "During the afternoon, a further spell of sleet and snow is likely to develop across southern England and South Wales which could cause travel disruption into the evening. The impact of lying snow and ice on untreated surfaces may have an impact on Thursday morning travel."
