UK Weather: Snow forecast this weekend after Met Office give 'wintry shower' risk

A weather forecaster has predicted snow will fall in the UK this weekend.

Earlier this week, the Met Office said there is an 'increased chance' of wintry showers between November 15 and November 29.

In their long-range weather forecast, the Met Office said: "Temperatures set to be slightly below average overall throughout this period with an increased likelihood of wintry showers from the north and northwest at times.

"These showers are most likely over high ground with low risk of them reaching lower levels later in the month.

"Less windy than the previous week overall, with stormy conditions much less likely than usual.

"Little evidence to suggest any prolonged widespread settled conditions as often areas of cloud, rain and showers will be around.

"Any clear spells that do occur give way to frost and fog as expected for the time of year. Overall remaining is drier than average."

But now, Global weather data viewer WXCharts says they expect snow to fall on Saturday, November 6.

Luckily, most of the country will escape the wintry weather.

WXCharts predict snow will fall in Scotland around Fort William.

They believe around 0.2 to 0.6cm of snow will fall per hour in the area.
