UK set to be battered by 668-mile long snow and England could be -3C

New UK weather maps show exactly where and when 668-mile long snow blast will blitz Britain. Snow could hit everywhere from Wick in Scotland all the way down to Chelmsford in Essex, with places like Birmingham, Manchester and Newcastle also struck.

The mercury will plunge to as low as -7C at times in Scotland, with "blizzard-like" snow sweeping areas in England and Wales too. WX Charts maps and charts says Edinburgh could expect cold lows of -2C as we head into Monday (November 11).

Freezing conditions can also be spotted in Newcastle with -3C possible. The predictions come amid growing anticipation of a wintry shift, with swathes of the country looking set to see a dramatic shift towards colder conditions as November continues.

Spanning November 25 to December 3, Netweather TV has had its say over the conditions we can anticipate. "The general trend will be towards a mild and unsettled west to south-westerly type during this period, with frequent wet weather especially for north-western Britain," the team from Netweather said.

The team went on, adding in its week-by-week outlook for November: "However, there remains potential for northerly outbreaks to bring brief interludes of colder drier sunnier weather with potential for wintry showers especially for the north-east, especially early in the period."

The Netweather projections added: "It is likely to be milder than average overall, but there is potential for temperatures to come out close to average in the north due to colder spells early in the period. It will probably be wetter than average overall in western Scotland, but it may still come out drier than average in most of southern and eastern Britain.

"Sunshine will probably be near normal averaged nationally, but with a tendency for above average sunshine in the east and below average in the west."
