Met Office Delivers Snow Verdict as UK Weather Shifts

The Met Office has clarified expectations for the coming weeks, stating that while the weather is expected to be highly changeable, widespread snowfall is unlikely across the UK.

Some forecasts had suggested that cities as far south as London and Southampton could face wintry conditions as temperatures fall and daylight shortens. However, meteorologist Greg Dewhurst indicated snow would remain confined to high altitudes in Scotland.

"At this stage, for the vast majority of people it looks unlikely," he revealed.

"At the moment, there is a little bit of snow falling over the Scottish mountains, so anyone in the Cairngorms could be seeing some on the summits up there," he said.

Dewhurst added that any snow in the Highlands would be short-lived.

"This weekend we could see temporary coverings of snow on the Scottish mountains, but by Sunday night and through to Monday, the whole of next week looks very mild," he explained.

Summary

Forecasters expect only fleeting snowfall on Scottish peaks, while most of the UK should see mild, changeable weather instead of sustained wintry conditions.
