Glasgow weather: Met Office forecast for week ahead as temperatures drop to -7℃ in Lanarkshire - will it snow?

Over the weekend Glasgow was issued its first yellow weather warning by the Met Office but the region wasn’t as affected as some might have expected. However, as temperatures continue to get bitterly cold - what’s in store for Glasgow this week?

Ice, wintry showers, unbearable temperatures and freezing fog swept through the UK, forcing many inside while those travelling in cars or on public transport faced disruption and dangerous conditions. Luckily for Glasweegans, the weather hasn’t caused mayhem unlike Scotland’s capital which faced blizzard-like conditions.

Met Office chief meteorologist Steve Willington said: "It is staying cold with daytime temperatures remaining only a few degrees above freezing in many places over the coming days and overnight temperatures dropping to -10C or lower in isolated spots.”

When the Met Office issued its yellow weather warnings for Glasgow, it was only those in the east that had to take note. The region was mostly settled and free from any dangerous conditions but with signs of wintry showers on the horizon and ongoing and relentless sub-zero temperatures forecast - What is the weather outlook for Glasgow this week and will the region see snow? Here is everything you need to know.
