The Met Office has predicted snowfall for this week as temperatures are set to decrease. Cardiff saw a high of 14.8C on Monday, but the mercury will fall gradually, with lows of 3C expected by Saturday.
A low-pressure system moving northeastward is bringing rain to various regions, notably Wales and the Northwest of England. As temperatures drop further, there is a likelihood of snowfall on higher terrains by Thursday, including the Cairngorms in Scotland, parts of Aberdeenshire, and possibly Snowdonia in north Wales later in the week.
The Met Office’s extended forecast suggests that many central and northern UK regions will experience colder and drier conditions, with overnight frosts and potential wintry showers on high ground. Southern areas may initially remain cloudier, milder, and wetter, with uncertainties about how quickly this weather pattern will shift southward.
The weather agency also hints at snow later in the month, with independent forecaster Netweather acknowledging the possibility of snow this week as well. Meteorologist Jo Farrow mentioned that temperatures will drop to seasonal norms, with Cardiff expecting a 10C temperature on Saturday, significantly colder than Monday’s weather.
Ms Farrow anticipates colder conditions in the north with frost risks and possible snow showers in Scottish hills, aligning temperatures with typical November levels. Western areas of the UK may see heavy rain due to low-pressure systems moving in from the Atlantic.
Several regions, including south Wales, are under weather warnings for rain, raising concerns about potential flooding. Hull received over 30mm of rain on Monday, while Cranwell in Lincolnshire experienced a 25.4mm downpour in a short span.
