NOW that it is officially winter and the temperatures begin to drop, many will be hoping that some seasonal snow will hit Scotland.
Whilst snow can make travelling harder with train and road delays, many wait for snow to arrive to add to the ‘festive’ spirit.
Though it is still the start of November, many weather forecasters including the Met Office, BBC Weather and WX Charts have shared their long-range predictions.
So, we can get an early insight into what to expect this winter, we’ve rounded up their predictions so you can see if snow is coming this winter.
Will we get snow this winter?
Starting with the Met Office, they share that for a few more weeks. we can expect more rain and wind, sharing that there will be “unsettled conditions likely to dominate with further rain and showers for all regions" of the UK.
There will be some drier spells at point meaning that some “overnight patchy frost and fog is possible at times but, overall, the chance of widespread fog and frost is lower than normal.”
In terms of temperatures, the Met Office is suggesting that it will be “generally on the mild side for the time of year.”
Areas around Inverness and Fort William can expect snowfall at the end of November and during December.
Whilst parts of Scotland can expect some snow, it seems like much of the UK will have to wait a little bit longer for snow to arrive.
Elsewhere, BBC Weather shares that low pressure will be the focus across November and December with windy and wet conditions.
Forecasters at BBC Weather said that the UK will “get wetter and windier conditions across the western side of Britain while eastern areas stay more seasonal.”
Lastly, WX Charts, which offers a map of the predictive weather forecast does show that parts of Scotland could see some snow.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
