Met Office Forecasts Mild Weather and Minimal Snow Risk for UK in November

As of November 1st, 2025, the Met Office has provided an update on the weather forecast for the UK in the coming weeks. Contrary to widespread speculation about potential blizzards and snowfall, the forecaster has confirmed that the chance of significant snowfall is "minimal" and largely confined to the remote Scottish Highlands.

Meteorologist Greg Dewhurst stated that for the vast majority of the UK, it is unlikely that any snow will be seen. Instead, next week is expected to bring above-average temperatures, ranging between 15 and 17 degrees Celsius, thanks to a mild southerly airflow. While the weather is predicted to be wet, particularly in the north and west, this precipitation will fall as heavy rain rather than snow.

The Met Office did note that the Scottish mountains may see temporary coverings of snow this weekend, but by Sunday night and through the following week, the weather is expected to remain very mild across the country. Looking ahead to mid-November, there are signs of higher pressure building, which could lead to a drop in temperatures, but this is more likely to result in drier weather rather than any significant snowfall.
