The UK snow forecast shows exactly where and when two areas will be covered with up to 5cm in November. Weather maps and charts, projected using Met Desk data, shows a downturn in conditions around November 19 as the country begins to shiver.

The Scottish Highlands is expected to see the bulk of the snowfall, with 5cm forecast to settle especially at higher altitudes. As well as the Highlands, there could be flurries across the central Scotland region, as well as the Pennines and Lake District.

James Madden, from Exacta Weather, said: "We expect something much more potent to develop in terms of these wintry blasts for this year, and although not entirely cold throughout, as we have always covered and in numerous posts, but with at least several notable wintry blasts and major stormy conditions to contend with, regardless of SSW developments in this period."

Mr Madden said: "The weather wants to be kind and mild to warm until around mid-November on my projections, with the worst of conditions coming from some expected fog and developing frosts from cold overnight conditions at times during these types of developments.

"However, we expect those bigger changes to some further stormy and even wintry conditions at times during the second half of November, and as it has always been covered in what will be our 125+ days in advance forecast for this exact period.

"Additionally, the GFS-generated wintry blast for early November has dissipated, but it will turn colder for all as expected in this same 125-day forecast for in and around bonfire night on our part." The Met Office has also issued its November forecasts.

In the short-term, spanning Wednesday to Friday, it says: "High pressure close by will continue to bring a good deal of dry but often cloudy weather. Occasional drizzle, with some fog patches. Pleasant enough during short lived brighter spells."
