A mass of snow and rain will engulf the UK, covering almost every inch of the country as sub-zero temperatures take hold, weather maps have shown. Britons have shouldered the remnants of a European cold snap that has driven the mercury down to unusual lows for the time of year.<\/p>\n

Maps and charts show that despite initially affecting northern England and Scotland, snow and ice risks have spread to cover the UK as far south as Cornwall. But, while the snow has surprised people across the country over the last week, the coming first days of December will see a much wetter picture dominated by rain.<\/p>\n

Charts show a dramatic wall of water surging over the UK just a week from now, with several millimetres falling every hour over an entire day.<\/p>\n

Maps from WXCharts highlight, despite the snow, the coming weekend will remain largely dry and temperatures low. Saturday, December 2, will see snow showers and little else before rain starts falling lightly on December 3 in isolated areas.<\/p>\n

The charts show a several-hundred-mile-wide rainy system nearly twice as large as the island of Ireland approaching the following week. From Wednesday, December 6, that huge system will start moving eastwards, through the Republic of Ireland and into the UK.<\/p>\n

WXCharts maps show the rain moving northeast, up via the southeast coast and into Wales and Cornwall, where between 1mm and 3mm will fall per hour. Showers will gradually gain momentum and move into northern England and Scotland, and waves of rain appear set to surge forward over the UK until early in the morning on Friday, December 8.<\/p>\n
