Model Maps Flag Possible Mid‑October Snow for Scotland

The Met Office keeps a mild, westerly outlook in place for early October as any shift to more unsettled weather later in the month remains uncertain.

Overview

  • GFS output visualised by WX Charts points to light snowfall over parts of Scotland around October 12–13.
  • A separate set of model runs highlights another potential snow window around October 18–19 for areas including Perthshire and Inverness‑shire.
  • The Daily Record cites WX Charts indicating only a dusting in the earlier window, with mapped depths generally under 1cm.
  • The Met Office forecast for October 8–17 signals relatively mild conditions with a broadly westerly pattern, some rain in the north and west, and more settled weather developing.
  • For October 18 to November 1, the Met Office notes a likely trend toward more widely unsettled conditions, though the timing is unclear, as Europe reports disruptive early‑season snow with power outages.
