Met Office Notes Risk of Northern UK Snow Next Week as Model Maps Highlight Highland Totals Later in November

Forecast confidence remains low because a push of cold air from the north may yet be offset by milder air moving up from the south.

Overview

  • Met Office meteorologist Simon Partridge says there is a possibility of snowfall by the end of next week and into the weekend, most likely in Scotland.
  • WXCharts using Met Desk data shows a potential for roughly 18–20cm of snow over parts of Aberdeenshire and the Scottish Highlands around November 23, with smaller chances extending into northern England and parts of Wales and Northern Ireland.
  • GFS model runs have indicated the possibility of very intense short‑term snowfall rates in mid‑November, which forecasters caution are scenarios rather than a firm forecast.
  • WXCharts projections reported by GB News point to temperatures near -5C around Inverness on November 19, with northern areas turning colder and southern regions staying relatively milder.
  • The Met Office has urged households to prepare for severe winter weather and shared a checklist that includes water, snacks, medication, warm clothing, baby supplies and pet food.
