Overview
- Met Office meteorologist Simon Partridge says snow is possible by the end of next week into next weekend, most likely in Scotland, though the outcome remains uncertain.
- WXCharts using MetDesk data shows potential late‑November accumulations of about 18–20cm in parts of the Scottish Highlands and Aberdeenshire, with some risk also signaled for northern England, parts of Wales and Northern Ireland.
- Probability guidance highlights competing patterns, including high pressure to the north and possible lows to the southwest that could keep many areas mild and wet.
- The Met Office issued WeatherReady advice encouraging households to prepare essentials for severe winter conditions.
- Claims of extreme hourly snowfall and specific sub‑zero temperatures come from model-based media reports and are not confirmed by official forecasts.
