Unsettled and colder midweek onwards for the UK

The weather outlook for the next few days and into the weekend will see colder conditions spreading southwards across the UK.

Colder weather is expected across the UK this week accompanied by frosts, hail and sleet, particularly from mid-week onwards. Snow is expected to settle over higher ground in the northern half of the UK, which may cause travel difficulties for some. At lower levels and further south, any snow is expected to be more transient in nature.

Steve Ramsdale, Chief Meteorologist at the Met Office, yesterday said:

“Although we’re going to see a few days with colder conditions, we shouldn’t be surprised that the start of winter brings a brief spell of wintry weather. Some parts of the UK, especially northern hills, may see snow, but for many this will only be short lived.  We’ll be monitoring the forecast and we will issue warnings accordingly.”
