Brits Brace for Arctic Blast: Plummeting Temps and Potential Snow in November
1 Nov, 2025
Summary
- Temperatures could drop to -1°C in parts of the UK by mid-November
- Snow expected in Scotland, northern England, and central areas
- Mild and unsettled weather to give way to sudden temperature plunge
According to the latest weather forecasts, the UK is bracing for an Arctic blast in the coming weeks, with temperatures set to plummet and the potential for snowfall in several regions.
After a chillier start to this week, the weather has become mild and unsettled, with low-pressure systems sweeping in from the Atlantic. This pattern is expected to continue through the first week of November. However, a sudden change is on the horizon.
Around November 10, the mercury is likely to drop significantly, with temperatures falling into single digits across much of the country. By November 13, parts of Scotland could see temperatures as low as -1°C, with the rest of the UK also experiencing bitterly cold conditions.
The weather maps indicate that snow is expected to fall in two areas of Scotland, the north and central regions, as well as in northern England. Forecasters suggest there could be snowfall throughout the day on November 13 in these affected areas.
While the first half of November is expected to remain above average in terms of temperatures, the second half of the month is likely to see a downward trend, with the potential for colder air being directed towards the UK. This could lead to an increased risk of frost and fog, particularly under calm and clear skies.
