As the UK moves into mid-November 2025, a significant shift in weather patterns is set to occur. According to the latest forecasts, a wintry weather system will grip 34 counties across the country on November 18.
The Cairngorms National Park, near Braemar and Balmoral, is expected to be the coldest area, with temperatures plummeting to -1°C. Eight counties in Scotland, including Highland, Moray, and Aberdeenshire, will see the mercury drop to 0°C. In England, six counties, such as Northumberland, Cumbria, and Cornwall, will also reach freezing temperatures.
The rest of the UK will experience lows ranging from 1°C to 7°C, with all of Wales, except for Powys and Wrexham, seeing 0°C. This sudden drop in temperatures, accompanied by cold winds, is a stark contrast to the milder weather that has been typical for this time of year.
As the month progresses, the forecaster suggests that weather patterns will settle, and dry periods will become more common, with temperatures likely to reach above average by mid-November. However, the upcoming cold snap on November 18 is a stark reminder that winter is just around the corner.
