Overview
- WX Charts and GFS outputs being widely reported project a shift to colder conditions between roughly 13 and 22 November, with some runs depicting prolonged freezing spells up to 192 hours and lows near -6C in parts of Scotland.
- Several high‑impact permutations show intense snowfall rates of about 5 to 10 cm per hour and potential Highland accumulations around 51 to 56 cm, which forecasters caution are worst‑case model scenarios rather than a consensus.
- Maps repeatedly highlight Scotland, north‑west England and the Midlands as most exposed, with some runs extending wintry conditions into parts of Wales and listing numerous northern cities for a 66‑hour window from 13 to 16 November.
- Official long‑range guidance points to cooler, drier periods with overnight frost and possible hill snow around mid‑month, and Met Office meteorologist Simon Partridge says any significant snow risk currently looks limited to Scotland.
- Coverage suggests the most likely window for any snow is late next week into the following Monday, with southern England generally staying milder and wetter and London facing only a low chance of light, non‑settling flurries.
