Met Office predicts exact date snow could fall in Scotland in November

Weather forecasters have estimated when we could see the first snowfall of the season.

As strong winds and thunderstorms have been battering Scotland recently, the temperatures are set to drop again following the record-breaking warm weather we saw in the summer.

It's expected this winter will be a particularly chilly one, with snow set to fall in many areas of the UK within the next couple of weeks, the Mirror reports.

According to the Met Office, snow is expected across northern and southern areas between November 7 and 21, as conditions become colder and drier.

In its long-range forecast, the weather service said: "Unsettled conditions are expected to continue at first, with further heavy rain possible, particularly in the south.

"An increasing chance of settled weather remains during the second week of November, bringing a potential for colder, drier weather especially for the north and west.

"This will likely bring a risk of chilly nights with mist, frost and fog in places, with some snow expected to fall in any showers in northern and western areas."

According to the Weather Outlook, temperatures across Scotland to plummet to -1 degrees on November 9.

Before that, the forecast for October 29 to November 7 will see some particularly wet conditions batter the country.

The forecast reads: "A continuation of changeable and unsettled weather conditions over the weekend as bands of rain or showers move northeastwards across the country, with locally heavy showers possible in places.

"The wettest weather will affect northern and western areas, with the south and east likely to see drier conditions, albeit with some showers still possible here.

"Remaining unsettled as we move into November with showers or periods of more prolonged rainfall for many, this heavy at times. There is a risk of strong winds as well as coastal gales for some throughout the period, particularly in the west."

It also says that temperatures are likely to stay mild overnight and warmer during the day, trending towards nearer normal temperatures by the end of the first week of November.
