New weather maps suggest that an Arctic blast could bring snow to parts of the UK later this month, with 13 counties bracing for wintry conditions. According to WXCharts, areas in Northwestern England and the Midlands could see snowfall between November 19 and November 21, as temperatures drop to as low as -5°C.
The maps indicate that the cold air is moving from Scandinavia towards the UK, potentially bringing snow to regions including Manchester. However, the Met Office has downplayed the likelihood of widespread snow, describing the chance as 'very low'.
A Met Office spokesperson said: 'Turning more unsettled into next weekend with low pressure probably becoming established close to the UK bringing rain or showers to most regions. Some wintry precipitation is possible in places, with snow most likely to fall over high ground in the north.'
The forecaster added that it is difficult to predict snow accurately so far in advance due to the UK's location and surrounding waters. 'There is no indication of widespread snow at this time,' the spokesperson said, noting that sea temperatures around the UK are above freezing, which affects snowfall chances.
