A band of rain and snow is set to arrive in Blackpool, Lancashire, overnight on February 14, 2026, causing potential delays for drivers and public transport users. This weather system is expected to bring wintry conditions to the coast as cold Arctic air is pushed away by a low-pressure system arriving from the Atlantic.
The Met Office has issued yellow weather warnings for snow and ice across northern England during this period. While much of the snow will fall on higher ground, small amounts could settle at lower levels on Sunday morning.
Coastal gales with wind gusts reaching 40mph are forecast throughout Sunday, February 15, 2026. The Met Office also predicts powerful waves as high as 1.6 metres, which will make the seafront and coastal paths hazardous for visitors.
Motorists using Blackpool Council roads and passengers on bus or rail services should prepare for short-term delays and slower journeys. Safety officials from the RNLI and HM Coastguard are urging people to take extra care near the water and follow local travel advice.
