Overview
- WXCharts using MetDesk’s GEFS shows a plausible chance of snow in the Scottish Highlands around October 20–22, with small signals over higher ground in northern England.
- Further model runs highlight a colder spell around October 25–26, with some outlets citing local Scottish accumulations of roughly 7–10cm, though these figures are provisional.
- The Met Office states there is currently no indication of snow in its forecast and expects largely settled, high‑pressure conditions through mid‑October.
- Official long‑range guidance notes greater uncertainty from October 24 to early November, with changeable, low‑pressure‑driven weather more likely and temperatures near seasonal norms.
- Most southern and lowland areas are projected to stay too mild for snow, with any wintry precipitation—if it occurs—most likely confined to higher terrain in the north.
