UK's weather forecast

Weather forecasters predict a "grey and murky" day to wrap up the weekend with parts of the UK waking up to freezing temperatures. The Met Office expects parts of the north to see clearer skies after a dull and cloudy Saturday, while further up north in Scotland conditions will remain frosty. Forecasts have also called for snow next week with plunging temperatures and a 'five-day snow blitz' from Thursday, December 3.

Temperatures have plunged overnight on what has been dubbed the coldest night in the UK this autumn, Express reported. Freezing temperatures were recorded in Aboyne today at -6.1C and in Dundee at -1C.

Further down south conditions are milder with York waking up to 5C, Nottingham at 8C and Swansea at a much more pleasant 12C.

According to the Met Office, conditions will remain dreary today, with occasional showers in the north-west.

The forecaster said: "Dull, grey and misty for many, although sunny spells across north-eastern Scotland and also some sunshine possible over parts of west Wales and southwest England. Rain into far north-west later."

A chart from The Weather Outlook shows much of England, Wales and parts of Scotland will be hit by flurries of snow from 6am on Friday, December 4.

The map shows vast areas covered in white patches and circles, which indicates up to 4cm of snowfall. The chart also shows parts of the north of England forecast to bear the brunt of the wintry conditions, with estimates of up to 10cm of snow.

The Weather Outlook, which is run by forecaster Brian Gaze, shared the charts on Twitter and wrote: “GFS06z brings the risk of snow a long way southwards by Friday.”

A second map from the forecaster shows temperatures are expected to be as low as -6C on Friday in the early hours of the morning. The graph, which sees the vast majority of the UK turn bright blue, shows the west of Britain will be much colder.

While the east of England can expect the mercury to just slightly dip below freezing. Maps from Netweather also shows that snow is forecast on Friday, December 4.

The forecaster’s snow risk chart suggests there is between an 80-100 percent risk of snow in northern Scotland at 3am. The high risk is represented by the large red area. By 6pm the map shows parts of England and Wales can also expect to see some snow.

The graph shows areas of the country turn yellow and green, which indicates a moderate snow risk of between 30-70 percent.

BBC Weather forecasters have claimed snow could fall in the north and west on Friday, as temperatures fall.

They said: “Cold enough for some snow over the hills and mountains in the north and west by Friday. A rather cold and showery end to the week."

Looking ahead, Met Office forecasters expect the conditions to be fairly unsettled and colder than the rest of the week.

They state: “High pressure and generally settled weather will likely give way to wetter, and at times windier, conditions through the first week of December. Some showers are likely too, these perhaps wintry at times in the north."

“Temperatures may start off near normal, though often feeling colder in windier and wetter spells. Below normal temperatures are then slightly more likely for later in the period.”

On December 1

According to Weather Online, high pressure pushes back in across the UK and Ireland on Tuesday. Misty and murky for many with some fog again in places particularly in the southwest. Winds strengthening across northern and western Scotland as well as western parts of Ireland with some rain moving into the far north and west of Scotland as well as western areas of Ireland and Northern Ireland. Staying mostly dry elsewhere. Cool in the north and east with highs ranging between 4 to 9C. Milder in the west with highs between 10 and 12C.
