All the parts of England set for snow on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday according to Met Office

The Met Office has issued a yellow weather alert and 42-hour weather warning for snow and ice in parts of England, Scotland and beyond. The Met Office has forecast flurries between Sunday November 17 and Tuesday November 19.

Up to 20cm of snow is possible on higher ground on Monday and Tuesday, with a small chance of up to 10cm of snow settling at lower levels, which could prove disruptive. The yellow alert impacts Scotland, Yorkshire, north east England, north west, and beyond.

Through Friday, southern parts of the UK remain dry with some sunshine, though some frost and fog are possible again overnight. Further north, conditions will turn windier, with gales in the far north, ahead of a band of rain arriving from the northwest. This will usher in colder air and wintry showers across northern mainland Scotland and the Northern Isles overnight.

Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist Rebekah Hicks explains: “A notable early winter cold spell will arrive across the north from Sunday and will likely reach all parts of the UK by midweek.

“Temperatures will drop as a northerly airflow develops, bringing in colder Arctic air. This introduces the possibility of snow, initially over high ground in the north from Sunday, with gusty winds also a potential hazard. As the cold air spreads south, wintry weather is possible more widely, and a snow and ice warning has already been issued for parts of Scotland and Northern England for early next week.

“Updates to the warnings for wintry hazards are likely, so it’s important to stay up to date with the latest forecast.”
