Met Office say 'snow possible' in parts of UK as it reveals dates in new forecast

The Met Office has confirmed the possibility of snow in some parts of the UK over upcoming days as temperatures dip.

In a long range forecast, the forecaster said there is the possibility of 'some snow over high ground' in parts of Scotland. This is expected between October 29 and November 7, the Met Office said.

The prediction aligns with weather maps that suggest the possibility of snowy conditions in northern parts of the country on November 3. WXCharts maps show areas around Inverness, Aberdeen, and Wick may experience chilly conditions as the mercury plummets to 0C.

The Met Office states that the 'colder air' is likely to push into parts of Scotland later next week and into the following week, which could lead to snowfall. In full, the long range forecast for October 29 to November 7 reads: "High pressure will dominate through much of next week, bringing widely settled conditions but probably with a fair amount of low cloud, producing spots of rain or drizzle at times.

"There will also be an increased chance of frost and fog, which may be slow to clear in places. The far north/northwest may experience breezier conditions and some outbreaks of rain at times, and there may be a tendency for this to push a little farther south later in the week, potentially allowing some colder air to filter into parts of Scotland with perhaps some snow over high ground.

"Otherwise, high pressure will tend to dominate for much of the rest of this period across more southern, and perhaps central, areas, with a continuation of drier than average conditions likely."
