People across the country have been warned to brace for more than 30 centimetres of snow in just a few weeks as a -6C Arctic blast is forecast to hit the UK.

Weather maps indicate a low pressure system hovering over the UK in a couple of weeks, bringing both rain and snow to large parts of the country, as reported by the Mirror.

Cold air is moving southwards and the first snow is expected to hit central Scotland on the night of November 20, becoming more widespread towards the end of that week.

A map from WXCharts reveals that on November 22, a flurry of snow will stretch down to East Anglia, covering northern and central parts of Scotland.

While most areas are unlikely to see more than a few centimetres, a snow weather map shows that up to 34 centimetres could fall in western Scotland.

The Met Office’s look ahead to November 21 through December 5 signals more unpredictable and chillier spells, with a likelihood of generally more unsettled conditions becoming widespread across the country.

Long-term weather forecast

The Met Office states: “A general trend towards more unsettled conditions for all parts seems more likely than not through this period. Initially, there may be something of a north-south split, with more unsettled conditions towards the north whilst drier conditions persist towards the south.

“However, as we head into December, a more unsettled and mobile picture will probably develop across all parts. Temperatures will probably be close to or a little above average overall, although some colder interludes are possible, especially in the north.”
