UK faces '15 inches' of snow and -10C temperatures as Arctic blast worsens

The UK faces 15 INCHES of snow and -10C conditions as the snow front heading for England worsens. WX Charts, which uses Met Desk data to project the weather, has shown its latest predictions for the coming week, amid yellow weather warnings for snow and ice from the Met Office.

Temperature levels are likely to drop as low as -10C in some parts of the country on November 23. The Scottish Highlands could face accumulations of as much as 15 inches - or 38cm - of the white stuff, with Inverness, Aberdeen and Fort William also at risk.

A yellow warning for snow and ice has been issued for the north of Scotland and the Northern Isles from Sunday afternoon to Monday morning. 1 to 3 cm may accumulate in some places within the warning area, whilst 5 to 10 cm is possible on high ground above 300 metres by Monday morning.

The Met Office forecast from November 21 onwards reads: "Cold or very cold conditions are expected across most if not all parts of the UK early in this period, with wintry showers affecting in particular northern parts and exposed coastal districts, although it may well be largely sunny inland.

"Overnight frost will be widespread and occasionally strong winds will result in significant wind chill. However, there is an increasing chance through the first weekend and into the following week of more organised areas of rain, snow and strong winds affecting many areas, this probably also associated with milder temperatures, at least in the south.

"Later in the period, conditions remain uncertain, but it is most likely to remain mostly unsettled with further spells of rain and snow." The forecasters from the Met Office say the most likely scenario is for most of the snow to fall on high ground, with 5 to 10 cm possible in locations above 300 metres in elevation and perhaps as much as 15 to 20 cm above 400 metres.

There is a small chance of snow settling at lower levels, where 5 to 10 cm would prove much more disruptive, but this is very uncertain.
