The Met Office has revealed its forecast regarding the possibility of snowfall across the UK in the upcoming weeks as an Arctic blast brings plummeting temperatures. Artic winds are predicted to sweep through the country, leading to colder weather and clearer skies after a period of gloom. Frosty nights are expected, particularly in north Wales, northern regions, and Scotland, with the potential for sleet or snow in some areas due to the drop in temperatures.
As the weekend approaches, even chillier conditions are anticipated, with northerly winds adding an extra cold edge starting from Saturday, November 16. Snowfall is likely in the Scottish Highlands early next week, but the chances of snow reaching southern areas are deemed to have a “very, very low probability” by meteorologists at the Met Office. The long-range weather forecast for the UK from November 16 to November 25 suggests a shift to wintry conditions but indicates a low likelihood of widespread or disruptive snowfall in densely populated regions.
The Met Office’s outlook from November 26 to December 10 predicts unsettled weather patterns with the possibility of Atlantic systems moving across the UK, bringing varying conditions of wetness, wind, and dry spells. While some colder interludes are possible, overall temperatures are expected to hover around or above average during this period. The forecast suggests a mix of unsettled weather with periodic wet and windy conditions interspersed with drier spells, indicating a more changeable climate than in early November.
