Summary

[edit]
Description
English: On 24 January heavy snow fell over wide swaths of Great Britain after a rare snowstorm hit the island. The next day, residents woke up to a thick blanket of snow in Wales, London and the Midlands, and several coronavirus vaccination and testing centres in England and Wales had been closed due to the severe weather. The Met Office issued a yellow weather warning for snow for an area stretching from coast to coast in Southern England and ending just south of Manchester. This rare image, acquired by the Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellites on 25 January 2021, shows the south of Great Britain covered with snow. Data delivered every day by the Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellites can be used to determine the status (dry or wet) of the snow.
