UK faces three 'snow bombs' within space of just 'seven days'

UK weather maps show the UK being battered by THREE Atlantic snow bombs - within a seven-day period. As we head towards mid-November and eventually December and Christmas, Arctic air could cause a snow dumping in the UK.

Monday, November 19, has been earmarked by WX Charts as potentially the starting day of the blast. By Saturday, November 23, Birmingham could potentially be seeing as much as nine inches (24cm) of snow with Scotland facing -16C lows a day later on Sunday, November 24.

The maps and charts, using Met Desk data, have been backed up by an array of forecasters who are all in unison that temperatures could plunge nationwide with sub-zero conditions likely and a dusting of the white stuff coming this month.

Netweather TV, for instance, explained: "There is potential for further colder northerly and north-westerly blasts in between low pressure systems, particularly early in the period and particularly in the north. However, it looks likely that high pressure will increasingly establish to the south of Britain with the jet stream pushing further north.

"This means an increasing chance of mild and changeable weather establishing for all parts of the UK as the period progresses. As a result, temperatures are expected to range from near normal in northern Scotland to about 2C above in southern England.

"It will probably be wetter than normal for most, but somewhat drier for southern and eastern England and south Wales than during Week 3. Conversely, the west and north of Scotland will probably turn wetter than average after relatively dry weather in Week 3."

The week by week outlook from the forecasters goes on and adds: "Sunshine will probably be near or below normal with western areas most likely to be cloudier than average and eastern coastal counties most likely to have near average sunshine."
