We didn't have a White Christmas, but snow could still be coming to Basingstoke, according to the BBC weather.

A sleet and snow risk has been forecast for the South of England on Friday morning, and more snow is predicted for January 2 and January 6.

With temperatures potentially reaching as low as -1 °C, residents may want to keep an eye out for snow on specific days and times.

On Friday, January 2, light snow is expected around 6pm, but it should finish by 7pm.

Temperatures will be 1 °C and may feel like -4 °C, with a gentle breeze forecasted.

On Tuesday, January 6, residents might see more of the white stuff.

Light snow is predicted to start at 8am.

However, don't expect a total shift in the weather as sunny spells are expected to mix in, bringing the temperature up to 3 °C at 12pm.

You might want to wrap up relatively warmly for your morning commute on Tuesday, January 6, when, at 8am, temperatures could be as low as -1°C, but the thermostat could go up to 1 °C at 10am.

The snow is reportedly set to last throughout the day, predicted to finish at 4am on Wednesday, January 7.
