Snow will cascade over the UK for up to 11 days, maps suggest, as forecasters warn Brits will deal with the fallout of a “snowy plunge” in Europe.<\/p>\n

The UK has recently stepped into a cold spell, with temperatures plummeting below freezing overnight and remaining in the low single figures throughout much of Saturday, November 25.<\/p>\n

Maps appear to show the start of a frosty trend, especially in northern England and Scotland that could prompt snow showers across the UK from Monday, November 27, to Thursday, December 7.<\/p>\n

The particular cold in the north has led forecasters to conclude the first few snowflakes of winter 2023\/2024 will most likely fall in those areas.<\/p>\n

But the south is still likely to see a scattering of snow showers as they sweep through the country in early December. It comes as Britain suffered its coldest day of the autumn so far, with temperatures of -7.7C recorded in Scotland.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Express.co.uk, Jim Dale, the founder and senior meteorological consultant at British Weather Services, said it would remain cold “more or less for most” into next month.<\/p>\n

He said snow events would stick to high ground over the Scottish Mountains, while becoming “few and far between for the vast majority” further south.<\/p>\n

Mr Dale added the forecast would “stay that way” for a week, before snowfall becomes more “sporadic”.<\/p>\n

While snow will remain after December 7, it will stay “chiefly in the north”, especially in areas higher than 500 feet above sea level.<\/p>\n
