Advanced weather modeling indicates that another snowstorm is approaching, expected to blanket parts of Britain with up to 17cm of snow. The latest GFS model forecasts a weather front moving from the Atlantic towards Northern Ireland and Scotland on December 3, with heavy snowfall anticipated in central and northern Scotland and intense rain in Northern Ireland.
By midday on December 3, the snow is projected to move southward, with snowfall rates reaching 1cm per hour near the Scotland-England border. Snow is likely to reach the far north-east of England by 3pm. Prepare for snowy conditions as this is where the snow is expected to hit today.
A subsequent weather front is predicted to arrive from the Atlantic on December 4, affecting Wales and central England. North Wales is expected to experience intense snow briefly, while other areas may see heavy rain.
Snow depth measurements suggest significant accumulations in the Cairngorms National Park in Scotland, with up to 17cm of snow possible. Northern Ireland, North Wales, and southern Scotland could also see accumulations of up to 1cm.
The Met Office forecasts continued snowfall in some parts of the country at the beginning of December. The outlook from November 28 to December 8 indicates changeable and unsettled conditions, with showers or longer periods of rain expected across the UK. Snow is likely to be limited to high ground in the north.
BBC Weather’s forecast for December 1 to 7 predicts drier conditions for most of the UK, with mild temperatures near or slightly above average during the daytime. Some regions may experience occasional rain, particularly in northern and western areas, with a chance of wintry precipitation over high ground in Scotland. The risk of colder weather developing exists if high pressure shifts position.
