Some of Britain could see snow as early as next week, according to the Met Office’s long range forecast.

Snow does not usually fall in the United Kingdom until the turn of the year, but it could come early this year.

Temperatures are predicted to plummet to freezing in the coming weeks, with the possibility of snowfall in the next few days.

So just where is snow expected to fall in the UK across the coming days?

UK snow forecast this week

Don’t get too excited for a snow fight just yet, as it’s going to be limited to areas like Inverness in the north and east of Scotland.

That’s if there’s any snow at all, which may be hard to imagine after temperatures up to the high teens in parts of the UK this week.

From October 30 to November 8, the Met Office predicts: ‘The period is likely to be characterised by often quiet and settled weather, as an area of high pressure becomes the dominant feature of the weather.

‘Some mist and fog is probable in the south at first, alongside rather cloudy conditions, whilst in the extreme north spells of stronger winds and rain could brush past giving a slightly more unsettled picture.

‘Into the start of November, there is a chance the weather could (briefly) turn much colder/brighter, with a chance of snow showers in northern and eastern areas, but it’s equally possible these could stay clear of the UK, or the milder conditions could remain in place.
