Britain is bracing for a snow blast in just a few days, with six UK cities set to be hit by wintry weather. New weather maps from WXCharts reveal temperatures could plummet to -6C in parts of the Scottish Highlands in the early hours of December 1.
Across Scotland and northern England, six cities are expected to wake up to a winter wonderland for the Monday morning commute: Dundee, Aberdeen, Inverness, Perth, Edinburgh, and Newcastle. The icy temperatures could mean treacherous driving conditions, following the Met Office's yellow warning for heavy rain over the weekend.
Weather experts have warned that an emerging area of low pressure will sweep across southern and central UK on Saturday, bringing heavy rain and gusty winds, especially across Wales, the Midlands, and southern England. There's potential for 20-30mm of rain, with up to 50mm in some areas and 60-80mm on higher ground.
A yellow weather warning for rain is in force across much of southern England from 6am today until midnight, with another alert for Monday covering the south coast, West Country, and South Wales. Jason Kelly, chief meteorologist at the Met Office, said: 'While the exact track of the low remains uncertain, there is a clear signal for strong winds and periods of heavy rain, which could lead to surface water flooding and delays to road and rail travel.'
Sunday will be drier and brighter but colder, with widespread frost overnight into Monday before the next weather system approaches. England and Wales will see cloudy conditions with a band of rain, while Northern Ireland and Scotland can expect brighter but colder weather with wintry showers over higher ground.
