Brits Brace for Early Winter Blast: Snow Forecast Across UK
9 Oct
Summary
- Parts of UK, especially Scottish Highlands, could see first snow of season
- Temperatures to dip close to freezing in mountains, just above 0°C elsewhere
- Wintry showers possible in northern England, Pennines, and higher ground
As of October 10, 2025, weather forecasts indicate that the UK could be in for an early taste of winter later this month. Advanced weather charts suggest that parts of the country, especially the Scottish Highlands, may see the first snowflakes of the season between October 20 and 22.
Scotland is expected to bear the brunt of the chill, with temperatures dipping close to freezing in the mountains and just a few degrees above 0°C elsewhere. Flurries could develop from early Monday morning through midday over the northern and western Highlands, though lowland areas like Edinburgh are likely to see only cold rain.
However, it's not just Scotland that could catch a glimpse of winter. The charts also show small patches of white shading appearing across parts of northern England, particularly around the Pennines and higher ground between Newcastle and Manchester. This could mean wintry showers in these areas from around Monday evening through to Wednesday evening, though any snow is likely to be brief and mainly over the hills.
