Snow could fall as far south as Birmingham and Swansea in the coming days, according to the latest weather maps. Snow has hit some parts of the UK over the past few weeks, but many regions of the country haven't seen any snowfall throughout the month of December.

That might change in the coming days, as weather maps show snow falling in several parts of the country as well as temperatures plummeting below freezing. Weather forecaster WXCharts shows patches of snowfall in areas surrounding Birmingham and Swansea, as well as small patches of Scotland, on Sunday, December 21.

This coming weekend starts with little to no snow in Britain, with only a small patch of Northern Ireland potentially getting snow on Saturday, December 20. However, as cold air moves in from the Atlantic, snow could fall in several parts of mainland Britain by Sunday.

Current projections show snow hitting small patches as early as 3am on December 21. Snow is currently projected to fall in areas surrounding Carlisle and Workington in the North West of England.

There are also two significant patches in the south and north of Wales, as well as in the north of Scotland. As the day moves on, snow moves east to hit major towns and cities such as Stoke-on-Trent, Stafford and Crewe by 6am.

By 9am on December 21, snow could also hit Bradford and Halifax. By 6pm, a small patch of snow could hit Dorset, according to the latest charts.

However, the Met Office says that snow is one of the hardest elements to predict as conditions can change "rapidly". The national meteorological service says that Saturday, December 20, will likely see a continuation of unsettled weather throughout the UK, with "rather wintry" conditions in areas.

It's current forecast reads: "In the run up to Christmas, there is a signal for less unsettled conditions to begin to take hold, with a greater chance of high pressure developing in the vicinity of the UK compared to the previous few weeks.

"Whilst the chance of impactful rain or strong winds should reduce, there may be an increasing incidence of overnight frost and fog, the latter perhaps taking its time to clear, given the time of year."
