Exact date snow will hit UK as three days of icy winter weather expected

With the clocks going back last week and the temperatures getting cooler and cooler, we are undeniably getting deeper into winter.

Now a forecast has detailed the three exact dates the UK is set to be covered in snow.

Brits in some parts of the country will see snow as early as mid-November, according to WXCharts.

For three days in mid-November as much as 2.5cm of snow could fall every single day consecutively in selected parts of the nation.

The weather forecaster has predicted that the first flurries will begin in the early hours of Tuesday, November 16, the Daily Star reports.

This light snowfall is expected to be seen below Inverness in northern Scotland, with potentially a large area included.

By midday this snow is expected to have travelled down to Edinburgh and a few miles below, while downpours batter large areas of the north.

The snow forecast continues to expand throughout the evening with areas east of Aberdeen included in the circle.

This area will reportedly see snow over the three days, with some areas in northern England also at risk.

On November 17 areas north of Manchester and in North Wales are expected to see some snow flurries too, as could small areas of Northern Ireland and areas below Dublin.

Scotland is likely to see the most snow over that week, but the light snow will likely be washed away by rain.

It comes as the UK is set to be battered by tropical Storm Wanda from Tuesday on.

A US National Hurricane Centre map shows it is headed right for the country and it set to bring sustained winds.

Met Office forecaster Dan Harris said: “Tropical Storm Wanda is not too far from the UK - and may indirectly influence the forecast early next week.”

Netweather and STV forecaster Jo Farrow added: “If Wanda gets caught up with another Atlantic low pressure, its tropical energy could help bring wet and windy weather to the UK.”

It was over the Atlantic Ocean on Saturday and was move north eastwards during the course of the weekend.

On Sunday night Wanda is expected to weaken and be downgraded to a non-tropical feature, and what is left of the storm will become embedded within a larger Atlantic frontal zone, the Met Office said.

This will then move on to the UK on Tuesday or Wednesday.

The Met Office said it could lead to rainfall and potentially weather warnings - although the timing and track of the system is still uncertain.
