Sheffield weather: Met Office predicts snow for some parts of South Yorkshire this weekend - 5-day forecast

Sheffielders might be wondering when they might start to see a slight change in the weather as we reach the middle of January. But, no matter how much you’re craving the light nights and warmer weather, Met Office weather experts say we could see snow in South Yorkshire this weekend.

Over the next few days, Met Office forecasters say Sheffield could see a range of weather as they predict spells of rain, wind and even snow on the South Yorkshire hilltops. And we’re still seeing chilly temperatures as it could drop to below freezing point overnight.

Heading into next week, we could see some more sunshine as dry and brighter conditions are expected. But of course there is still a chance of occasional outbreaks of rain, isolated wintry showers and low temperatures.
