UK faces 4cm of snow with three places set to 'bear brunt' of flurries

The UK faces a snow blast in November as weather maps turn white and show the exact date flurries look poised to begin. Weather maps and charts from WX Charts, using Met Desk data, shows a downturn in conditions during the penultimate month of the year.

WXCharts predicts parts of Scotland will see a shift from Wednesday, November 13 as the weather map turns blue. Temperatures drop below zero with sub-zero conditions across swathes of the country, north of the border, with mercury struggling above 0C.

Cairngorms, Aberdeenshire and Highland Perthshire will face the brunt of the snow with 4cm tallies predcited. In an update on its website, the BBC Weather team predicts a "settled for a while but potentially wetter later" weather shift between November 11 and November 24.

It said: "High pressure should continue to build and remain in place across or near the UK through the middle of November. As a result most of the UK should see a return to settled and mostly dry weather. However, although weakening fronts moving around the northern flank of the anticyclone could bring occasional bouts of rain, most probably mainly to northern and northwestern areas where winds could pick up at times.

"The southern areas of the UK should have longer periods with low winds, making some areas susceptible to fog and frost again, despite temperatures most probably being near or a little above average. There is again a risk that high pressure could drift west or north-west of the UK and that would produce some chillier winds with wetter conditions, with some wintriness in the north, but nothing of particular note.

"Later in November there are indications that the pattern could shift around, with high pressure perhaps occupying a more southerly position. This could crack the door ajar for low pressure and frontal systems to enter from the Atlantic, and so a generally wetter period would be possible, with winds picking up at times over a larger area. Temperatures would most probably remain near or above the seasonal average."
