Snow on its option to the UK with falls as deep as 56cm
Weather maps show that snow is coming to English, Scotland, and Wales, with freezing temperatures here in just a few days and falls as deep as 56 cm
Weather maps show a chilly outlook for England, Scotland, and Wales with snowfalls expected and a swift end to the unseasonably warm weather in the south.
Cold spots in our chilly November are highlighted by forecasters at WX Charts. Their maps show patches of purple, white, and blue as colder weather makes its way to the UK. They expect a deep blanket of 56cm of snow could fall in parts of the Scotland Highlands around November 17.
Regions now in line for snow include north-west England, North Wales, and most of Scotland. While the Highlands could see huge snowfalls, according to WX Charts, Edinburgh and Glasgow could get around 3cm of snow.
Parts of North Wales could see up to 3cm of snowfall at 6am on November 17. Parts of North Yorkshire could see up to 6cm of snowfall on that morning with 5cm in Cumbria and 3cm near Greater Manchester.
The Met Office’s long range forecast for that time has suggested the weather in the second half of the month could start to get colder.
In its forecast for November 11-20, the forecaster said: “The start of this period is likely to be largely unsettled and mostly mild, with bands or areas of rain moving across most parts of the UK, although tending to be focused more on western and possibly southern parts.
“Locally strong winds may also accompany the rain at times. Some drier spells are also likely, the best of these probably towards the east and possibly the north.
“Where skies are clear and winds light overnight, frost and fog are likely, the fog slow to clear. From around the middle of the month, we may see a transition towards more generally drier weather across the UK, and with this it is likely to turn a little cooler overall, with a greater risk of overnight frost.”
This comes after more weather maps have showed Brits could be hit with a brutal 92-hour snow freeze and Arctic temperatures as low as -6C.
WX Charts maps from November 15 show the Midlands, north-west of England, and Scotland being hit by snow. Temperatures in the Scottish Highlands could drop to as low as -2C.
Snowfall is also expected in Wales and the north-west of England by November 16. Come Monday November 17, weather charts show the snow settling from Scotland to Cumbria and Snowdonia in Wales, with the mercury plunging to its lowest for the period – a freezing -5 and -6C.
By November 18, the mercury could plummet as low as -5C in Ireland, mid-Wales, and Scotland. The freezing temperatures could last until November 19.
