February brings persistent rain and snow risks across UK

Forecasters predict a turbulent start to February 2026, with widespread precipitation expected to exacerbate existing flood risks. Atlantic low-pressure systems will drive rain and blustery winds across the country, particularly affecting northern and western regions. While southern areas may experience persistent downpours early in the month, colder air in the north could bring hill snow. The unsettled pattern is set to continue, with temperatures remaining below average in the northeast and saturated ground causing concern.
