UK Snow Verdict: Chance of Snow Increases This Weekend
13 Nov
Summary
- Snow risk is increasing for Sunday with potential accumulations.
- Sub-zero temperatures as low as -6C are expected in some areas.
- Unsettled and cold conditions with rain, sleet, and snow are forecast for next week.
The Met Office has updated its forecast, indicating an increased risk of snow across the UK this coming Sunday, November 15, 2026. The nation is entering a colder phase, with daytime temperatures likely to remain in single figures and overnight lows potentially reaching -6C, leading to widespread ground frost.
Low pressure systems are expected to bring rain and showers to many areas, particularly persistent precipitation to northern Scotland. Later on Sunday, an increasing chance of snow is predicted for this region, primarily affecting higher ground but with the possibility of it falling to lower levels. Ice may also become a hazard.
Looking ahead to next week, unsettled and cold weather patterns are set to continue. Key features of the forecast include rain, sleet, and snow, predominantly over hills. Snowfall occurs when cold air meets moisture, often brought by northerly or easterly winds from Arctic or continental Europe.
