It’s Febrrr-uary! Britain faces the coldest February since the Beast from the East seven years ago – with chills until spring. Snow hit the South-West and Wales this weekend as weathermen forecast a colder-than-normal month ahead.
Travel chiefs are on alert for road and rail impacts, with more snow in coming days, plus ice risks. In fact, we’re facing weather as gloomy as any Scandi drama thanks to a cold front drifting in from across the North Sea. And it could mean the freezing conditions stay until March.
We’re anticipating -8C chills as a result of blow in from Scandinavia – as proven on a climate map. Daytimes can be caught in low single figures.

Bookmaker Coral cut odds on February being the coldest on record from 3/1 to 6/4. Coral spokesman John Hill said: “The odds are falling faster than the mercury.”
With colder-than-usual temperatures forecast ahead, a temperature across the month below the average 4.1C would make this the UK’s coldest February since 2018, when the Beast from the East hit, Met Office records show.
The Weather Outlook forecaster Brian Gaze stated: “February could well be colder-than-average, with a realistic likelihood of a significant cold period in mid-month.”

A Met Office forecaster stated: “Temperatures are on a downward trend and feeling cold in the easterly wind, with some hill snow.
“February 11-20 has temperatures expected to be below normal, with a transition to less cold conditions into March.”
It comes as scientists are concerned about research showing last month was the hottest January on record – but they claim it is down to one thing.
Following a gathering, scientists on the EU’s Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) have revealed that January 2025 was the most well liked January on report.

The global average air temperature was 55.81°F (13.23°C), which is 1.42°F (0.79°C) above the 1991-2020 average for January. It had also risen above the previous hottest January on record, which was 2024 at 55.65°F (13.14°C).
Boffins claim climate change is the driving force behind this rise in temperatures, but some say this is unusual due to the presence of the La Niña weather phenomenon. That is when the ocean surface temperatures cool in the central and eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean, and often leads to variations in global weather.
