The Met Office has shared insights on the potential snowfall across the UK in the upcoming weeks. As Arctic winds are expected to sweep through the country, colder weather is on the horizon. A chill is predicted to set in with clearer skies following a period of gloom. Particularly frosty nights are anticipated, especially in northern areas like north Wales, the north of England, and Scotland on Tuesday night.
While the approaching cold spell may lead to precipitation in the form of sleet or snow in some regions, the exact locations and amounts are yet to be determined in the following days. The weekend is poised to bring even chillier conditions, with northerly winds intensifying the cold from Saturday, 16th November. The Scottish Highlands are likely to witness snowfall early next week, but the probability of snow reaching more populated southern areas remains extremely low.
The long-range weather forecast from Saturday, 16th November, until Monday, 25th November, suggests a transition towards wintry conditions. However, the likelihood of widespread or disruptive snowfall affecting densely populated regions remains minimal. The weather is predicted to become more unsettled and significantly colder heading into the weekend, with low pressure possibly establishing to the east of the UK, bringing rain or showers across most areas.
From Tuesday, 26th November, to Tuesday, 10th December, unsettled weather patterns are expected with periodic movements of Atlantic systems over the UK. While prevailing weather conditions during this period may vary, a greater chance of mobile weather patterns is projected, bringing wetter and windier interludes followed by drier periods. Colder interludes are also possible, especially early in the period, although temperatures are likely to average around or above normal.
