Met Office warns of 'frequent wintry showers' and says 'it will be cold everywhere'

Wintry showers and chilly temperatures are predicted to sweep the UK in just days. The Met Office has said that snow is expected to fall in some parts of Britain next week.

Temperatures are anticipated to drop, making it 'cold everywhere'. Overnight frost and strong winds are also anticipated, which will bring a 'significant wind chill.'

The north of the country is expected to see the worst of the weather. But the Met Office said there is little chance of 'widespread or disruptive snowfall'.

In its long-range forecast for Monday, November 18, to Wednesday, November 27, the Met Office said: "Frequent wintry showers are expected, mainly in the north and along eastern and western coasts where exposed to the strong north to northwesterly flow. Snow is likely to fall to low levels, especially in the north.

"Many inland areas may be largely dry with lengthy sunny spells, especially where sheltered from the flow. However, there is a risk of some more organised areas of rain and hill snow running east across more southern parts.

"The chance of any widespread or disruptive snowfall affecting more populated areas at this stage remains low though. Cold everywhere with overnight frost, and the strong winds will result in significant wind chill.

"There is a hint that it may become less cold later in the period, with more of a westerly flow becoming established." Looking ahead to Thursday, November 28, to Thursday, December 12, the Met Office said weather could become more unsettled.

It said: "Signals vary in prevailing weather patterns through this period but likely mainly unsettled and rather cold for the start of the period. There is a chance of more mobile weather patterns which would see Atlantic systems periodically move across the country.

"These will bring some wetter and windier interludes with a risk of some snow, especially for hills of the north. A trend toward less mobile weather or more settled conditions is favoured into December, although some wetter and windier interludes remain likely at times.

"Temperatures also trending closer to average, especially in the south."
