Weather experts have identified regions in the UK that may soon experience widespread snowfall. The era of warm and sunny weather appears to be ending for 2025, as winds and rain are forecasted to impact most areas in the upcoming weeks. Specifically, one part of the country could witness wintry conditions with potential snowfall.
According to Netweather’s outlook from October 27 to November 4, the Scottish Highlands are expected to encounter widespread snow during that period. The forecast indicates that while temperatures are likely to remain close to average, significant snowfall may occur, particularly over the Scottish Highlands.
Netweather also anticipates that the UK will face increased wind and rain as temperatures drop. The forecast suggests a shift to unsettled conditions dominated by low pressure systems, primarily with westerly winds. Temperatures are projected to be around average in the north and slightly above average in the southeast. Depressions are predicted to track farther south than usual, leading to wetter conditions in the south compared to the north-west.
Despite the wet and windy weather pattern, eastern Scotland could receive more sunshine than usual during that week. The forecast indicates a level of uncertainty regarding precipitation levels but suggests generally unsettled conditions. Eastern Scotland and north-east England are likely to experience above-average sunshine, while south-western Britain may see below-average sunshine.
Recent weather maps from WXCharts suggest that parts of Scotland, particularly the Highlands, could encounter snow toward the end of the month. Predictions indicate potential snowfall of around 7cm starting from midday on October 26. Additionally, some areas in northern England and Wales might also experience snowfall that weekend, with temperatures expected to decrease significantly.
The Met Office’s extended forecast for October 26 to November 9 indicates changeable weather across the UK, with low-pressure systems prevailing. Showers or longer rainy spells are expected intermittently, possibly heavy in some regions, alongside occasional strong winds. However, brief periods of drier weather are also probable. Overall, temperatures are forecasted to remain close to normal during this period.
