Snow is expected to hit Scotland as early as next weekend. It's expected this winter will be a particularly chilly one, with the white stuff set to fall on Sunday, November 13, according to MetDesk.
It's time to start hunting for the gloves and scarf as a dramatic drop in temperatures for November has been forecasted, following October highs. The weather has already taken a turn this week, with several wet and windy days and it won't be long before snow starts falling, reports the Mirror.
Snow is not only expected to fall in the Highlands, but also in Central Scotland by late next week. Weather indicating model WX Charts predicts the snow will push south from Scotland and into England by later in the month.
Met Office spokesman Stephen Dixon says there's not much hope that the sun will shine this month. "The potential for some cooler weather increases from mid-November, with the coldest places most likely to be in the northwest," he told Express.co.uk.
"There will be an ongoing chance later in the month that any showers could fall as snow for a time in the north, with the high ground most likely to see the highest of any accumulations. There isn’t a signal beyond what we’d normally expect for this time of year in terms of snowfall."
The Met Office's long-range forecast, which covered up to November 9, says temperatures will remain above average. "Changeable and unsettled conditions are likely to continue on Monday with bands of showers and rain interspersed with clearer periods, moving in a northeastwards direction across the country," it read.
"Further into the week, unsettled conditions likely to remain particularly in the north and west, bringing showers or longer periods of rain. The southeast is likely to remain dry and brighter throughout the period.
"Strong winds are expected at times across much of the UK, especially in the west and north with a risk of gales.
"Conditions remaining similar as we move further into November, with showers or longer spells of rain, heavy in places, likely across much of the UK. Temperatures above average, feeling milder during both the day and night."
