About this analysis

The Daily Star reports a Met Office and BBC forecast of a band of snow crossing northern Wales, northern England and southern Scotland early next week, after a cold snap that brought temperatures to -6.4C. The headline's count of 18 areas matches the Welsh and English places listed in the body, and the forecasters' own caveats are quoted in full. Nothing in it misleads the reader.

What it gets right

  • “It is a long way off at the moment but we will firm up, don't take this as read because it could be a little bit further north or south”

    The Daily Star quotes the forecaster's own uncertainty in full. Readers can see the snow band's track is not settled.

  • “unsettled and cold conditions remain with rain, sleet and (mainly hill) snow key features”

    The Daily Star quotes the Met Office forecast directly, including the qualification that the snow will fall mainly on hills.

  • “Some areas could see snowfall exceeding 5cm, with hilly regions of central Scotland potentially receiving close to 15cm.”

    The Daily Star gives concrete, hedged snowfall figures and says where the heaviest falls are expected.
