The United Kingdom is gearing up to face colder temperatures, frosts, and snowfall next week. A cold front will push southwards, causing air to turn progressively colder with an Arctic air mass becoming established. An area of high pressure building across Greenland is blocking incoming air, emptying Arctic cold air out across the United Kingdom. The colder weather comes in late November. Typically, colder weather would come in the heart of winter when the Arctic is much colder, so this is an early seasonal change.
Northerly winds will bring several showers in northern Scotland, primarily falling as sleet and rain near the coastal areas. Localized disruption is expected to occur with regular snow showers on the hills of northern Scotland. Northern Ireland, along with coastal areas of England and Wales, will witness frequent showers that may be mixed with rain, sleet or hail. Many inland areas of the United Kingdom are likely to witness a lot of dry weather with morning frosts and sunny skies. The ground is not as cold as it would be in midwinter, which means that some of the snow hitting the roads will melt. However, larger accumulations are expected on colder grassy surfaces.
On Monday night and into Tuesday, there is a potential for an area of low pressure to form and move towards Northern Ireland, England, and Wales. Wet and windy weather on the south side of the low-pressure system is expected. However, heavy snow is possible on the north side of the system, particularly over high ground, depending on the exact path of the low-pressure system, precipitation, and land elevation. Forecasting this snow is challenging due to these factors, and there is uncertainty regarding the likelihood of snowfall; any updates will be communicated closer to the time.
It is uncertain whether a second low pressure will bring snow to the south of the United Kingdom by the end of the following week. The cold spell will likely last for about a week for many before transitioning to milder Atlantic air, just in time for winter. It is essential to keep track of the progress of the weather patterns to avoid disruptions caused by the colder temperatures, snow, and rainfall
