As temperatures drop and nights lengthen, the approach of winter becomes more evident, with the possibility of snow in certain regions today. According to the GFS weather model, parts of Scotland, particularly the Highlands, Inverness, and the Cairngorms area, may experience snowfall. The heaviest snowfall is forecasted to occur around 6pm, with indications on the weather maps highlighting areas where snow may accumulate. Despite projections of up to 10cm of snow per hour in some places, the actual settling snow depth is estimated to be only around 1cm.
The BBC Weather report describes current weather conditions, mentioning variable cloud cover with scattered showers in the north and wetter conditions in northern Scotland this afternoon. The night will bring mostly cloudy skies with patchy rain in Northern Ireland and Scotland, while other areas will see increasing cloudiness and rain in southern England and Wales.
Tomorrow’s weather is anticipated to be breezy, with lingering rain in parts of southern England and a mix of sunny intervals, patchy clouds, and scattered showers, potentially heavy in Scotland. Looking ahead to Thursday to Saturday, expect a cool but bright start on Thursday, followed by increasing cloud cover, strong winds, and blustery rain from the south and west. Rain is likely to spread northeast overnight. Friday will bring brief brightness after the rain clears to the northeast, before more rain and strong winds move in from the southwest later in the day. Saturday is expected to see rain clearing to sunshine and showers.
The Met Office’s late November forecast projects unsettled conditions initially across the UK, with showers or longer periods of rain and potential strong winds. Temperatures are predicted to be near normal. In the latter half of November, drier and finer weather is likely to prevail, albeit with some overnight fog and frost, with wetter spells more probable in the northern parts of the UK.
