The Met Office says snow will hit England next Tuesday as it explains where will face a dusting. The Met Office has warned things will turn 'colder' and parts of Scotland and England could see snow as we head towards the Christmas month.

On Tuesday, December 2, some snow is likely over high ground in Scotland and northern England, the forecasters have warned. The rest of the week will likely remain unsettled, especially for northern and western parts of the UK.

It comes as the Met Office issued a forecast spanning December 4 onwards, adding: "A rather changeable start to this period, with frontal systems moving east across the UK and bringing spells of rain and strong winds for many areas, though interspersed with quieter interludes.

"Overall, rain is most likely across the north and west, while southeast parts may be relatively drier, though not completely dry. Moving into the second week of December, there are signs of more settled weather developing more widely, especially across the south and southwest of the UK.

"This may well bring a spell of mainly dry conditions in these areas, probably with patchy overnight frost and fog. Any outbreaks of rain and wind in this period are more likely to affect the north. Temperatures will vary around average for December, with some milder and some colder days."

The BBC has said: "Sunday will continue to see mild and breezy conditions with bands of heavy rain and showers moving in from the west. Remaining breezy on Monday with variable cloud cover and bright spells, as well as patches of rain across the UK, possibly wintry on Scottish hills.

"Tuesday will be dry and bright initially, with a band of rain and snow then moving east in the evening."
