The UK is set for unsettled weather conditions this weekend, with heavier rain and showers anticipated from the west. These conditions are expected to bring snow to higher elevations in northwest Scotland. Despite the wintry precipitation, the temperatures will be milder compared to recent days, though a pervasive chill will remain.
Looking ahead to Sunday and Monday, unsettled weather will dominate, featuring spells of rain or showers across many regions. Northern Scotland will experience the most persistent precipitation, with an increasing likelihood of snow developing later on Sunday, primarily affecting high ground. This snow could also reach lower levels, and ice is predicted to become a hazard.
Into next week, the outlook remains for cold and unsettled conditions. Rain, sleet, and snow, particularly on higher ground, are expected to be recurring features.
