Sheffield set to get more snow - here’s the forecast for the weekend and what the temperature will be

The wintery weather is well and truly here, with temperatures of well below freezing being felt across the UK - including Sheffield. Cold temperatures always get people thinking of snow and last nigth there was a glimpse of this with a light dusting of the white stuff.

The weekend is set to continue with the theme of icy coldness as the temperature in Sheffield could struggle to get above 3C. The overnight temperatures could drop as low as -2C. In terms of the ‘feels like’ temperature, this could be down at the -3/-4C levels as we head into a new week.

Throughout next week, temperatures look set to drop below zero on most days. This, coupled with clear skies could lead to further ‘feels like’ temperatures of well below freezing.

The chances of snow are, at present, relatively low for at least the next few days. However, according to BBC weather, Sheffield could wake up to a sprinkling of the white stuff later in the month.

On Friday December 16, there is a chance of light snow showers beginning at 7am and lasting until around midday. In the afternoon, this could turn into sleet rather than snow but then turn back into snow as the temperature drops again.

Across the day, the temperature may not get above 2C, making for an icy cold feel. There should also be plenty of sunshine around.
