Overview
- GFS model runs project a three-day cold snap starting around November 11 that would bring daytime temperatures below freezing across 24 counties in Scotland, northern England and Wales.
- The Met Office's November 9–18 outlook flagged a greater chance of colder conditions late next week and said wintry showers are possible while stressing uncertainty at this lead time.
- Forecast maps show isolated lows near −3°C in northern Scotland and much milder readings in the south, with London around 4°C and East Anglia near 6°C during the cold spell.
- Some media-cited model scenarios suggest the freeze could stretch toward November 16 and affect more areas, but those extended outcomes are model-dependent and less certain than the short three-day signal.
- If the pattern verifies, higher ground could see brief snowfall, icy surfaces may disrupt travel in northern areas, and the public should monitor official Met Office updates as new model runs arrive.
