The exact date when the UK could face up to 18 inches as the whole of UK hit by wintry weather has been revealed.
The UK is set to wake up to 18 inches of snow, according to some weather reports, as we head deeper into November and towards December and Christmas. The exact date when the UK could face up to 18 inches as the whole of UK hit by wintry weather has been revealed.
The white stuff is anticipated across Saturday November 23, with areas in the North West of England including Manchester seeing 3cm of flurries. The worst of the weather, WX Charts predicts, will be around November 23, including the Home Counties, Greater London and Scottish Highlands.
The home counties are the counties of England that surround London. The counties are not precisely defined but Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, Essex, Kent and Surrey – with all of them set for a dusting, if WX Charts is to believed.
In the short-term, the Met Office has issued a forecast for the rest of the working week, spanning Thursday (November 14) to the weekend. It states: “Gradually turning cloudier through the week with outbreaks of rain at times, mainly in the north. Chilly overnight with fog and frost in places.”
Tomorrow, cloud will spread across much of the rest of Scotland, Northern Ireland and parts of northern England with patchy light rain persisting in western Scotland. Dry and mostly bright elsewhere, the BBC Weather team has gone on to add.
The Thursday to weekend outlook states: “Thursday will be mainly cloudy with a few spots of drizzle in the north-west. On Friday, southern regions of the UK will remain mostly dry but with extensive cloud. The north looks to be windy with showers in the west and mostly cloudy in the east.
“Saturday may turn more unsettled, with patchy rain and showers in the west and the far north. Otherwise, mostly cloudy and dry.”
