The day on which there is a "heightened risk" of snow in the UK has been revealed by a meteorological forecast. As winter approaches, temperatures have been dropping across the country in recent weeks, and James Madden of Exacta Weather thinks we may be in for some much colder weather.

Madden stated that "the first snow showers" of the season will start "from this weekend" for residents in "parts of the north," but that the rest of the nation could anticipate equally wintry conditions starting the following week.

Taking to TikTok, he wrote: "From this weekend we will see the first snow showers of the upcoming transition to some much colder weather starting to fall across parts of the north to begin with as an initially quite cold northerly [front] for November begins to establish some expected and quite stark changes for most and if not all parts of the country during this period.

"From Monday of next week and through to around Wednesday (November 18-20) will now bring a significantly heightened risk for some widespread and potentially notable snow for November at times across some large parts of the country from the far north to the far south of the country as the widespread wintry weather and snow showers really begin to take [hold] across large parts of the UK and Northern Ireland/Ireland."

Meanwhile, the Met Office has issued yellow weather warnings for snow and ice beginning tomorrow (Sunday, November 17). Tomorrow's warning will bring "ice and some snow leading to slippery surfaces and difficult travel conditions" across northern Scotland, including its islands.

On Monday (November 18), "a small chance of disruption from snow and ice" will affect the same area, as well as parts of central and southern Scotland and northern England. The weather warning affecting northern Scotland will be lifted at 11am that day.
