Overview
- Forecasters say widespread snowfall is unlikely, with any wintry weather mostly confined to the Scottish mountains.
- A little snow is falling on Cairngorm summits, with only temporary coverings possible on the highest peaks this weekend.
- Conditions this weekend stay highly changeable, with heavy, blustery showers—especially in the north and west—falling as rain rather than snow.
- Most areas turn milder next week as a southerly airflow lifts temperatures to around 15–17C, above the seasonal norm.
- Looking toward mid-November, higher pressure may lower temperatures but is more likely to bring drier conditions than snow, and reports of southern snowfall are not supported by the Met Office.
