Met Office Denies Forecasts of Widespread UK Snowfall This Month
15 Oct
Summary
- Met Office refutes media reports of impending heavy snowfall
- Unsettled weather expected, but no significant snow in current forecast
- Transition to more unsettled conditions likely by next week
According to the latest update from the Met Office, the UK is not facing the prospect of widespread snowfall later this month, contrary to some recent media reports. While the weather is set to become more unsettled in the coming days, with the arrival of low pressure systems from the Atlantic, the national forecaster has stated that there is no "significant" snow on the horizon.
The Met Office spokesperson has clarified that it is not possible to predict snowfall for a specific date several weeks in advance. The current forecast for the next week indicates a largely dry and cloudy outlook, with some occasional drizzle. However, a transition to more unsettled conditions is expected to begin this Sunday, as low pressure moves across the UK, bringing an increased chance of rain or showers and potentially strong winds.
Looking further ahead, the Met Office has predicted an unsettled period from October 29th to November 12th, with low pressure systems tracking across the UK. This may result in showers or longer spells of rain, accompanied by strong winds at times. Temperatures, however, are expected to be above normal overall during this period.
