UK likely to see snow as early as next week as temperatures plummet, says forecaster
The UK could see its first flurry of snow of the season in just a matter of days, as temperatures are set to plummet. Forecasters have predicted wintry weather could sweep across the country as early as next week.
The chilly conditions are said to be a result of a change in the jet stream, bringing cooler air across the country - following a mostly dry weekend, says the Met Office. There are also indications that rural areas and higher lands in northern Wales are likely to see some snow too.Jim Dale, British Weather Services' senior meteorologist, said next week parts of Britain are on course to see a dusting at the very least.
Mr Dale added: "It'll be notably colder in south east but nothing out of the ordinary for the time of year. This will be caused by the movement south of the jet stream - pulling in moderated polar air from Greenland and Iceland way."
