As temperatures drop and evenings darken sooner, the onset of winter is becoming evident, with the possibility of snow in certain regions today. According to the GFS weather model, parts of Scotland, including the Highlands, Inverness, and the Cairngorms area, may experience snowfall throughout the day.
The most intense snowfall is anticipated around 6pm, with weather maps highlighting areas where snow is likely to accumulate. While some areas could see snowfall rates of 10cm per hour, only approximately 1cm is expected to settle on the ground based on the data.
The BBC Weather forecast indicates variable cloud coverage with scattered showers in the north this afternoon, while northern Scotland will experience cloudy and wet conditions. Tonight, expect mostly cloudy skies with scattered rain moving east over Northern Ireland and Scotland, with other regions turning cloudier and rain reaching parts of southern England and Wales.
Tomorrow will bring breezy conditions with lingering rain in southern England, while other areas can expect a mix of sunny intervals, patchy clouds, and occasional heavy showers, especially in Scotland.
Looking ahead to Thursday to Saturday, a cloudy start on Thursday will give way to strengthening winds and blustery rain moving from the south and west, spreading northeast overnight. Friday will see the rain clearing northeast, leading to brief brightness before more rain and strong winds arrive from the southwest later in the day. By Saturday, the rain is expected to clear, making way for sunshine and scattered showers.
The Met Office’s late November forecast suggests unsettled conditions initially with showers or prolonged rain and the possibility of strong winds across the UK. Temperatures are likely to remain near average, with the latter half of November potentially seeing more dry and fine weather, albeit with overnight fog and frost. Any wetter spells are most likely to affect the northern regions of the UK.
