UK Faces Heavy Snowfall in Southern Counties
Weather models from WX Charts, using Met Desk data based on advanced GFS modelling, indicate that up to 3cm of snow per hour could fall across parts of southern England by mid-November.
Snow Forecast and Affected Areas
The latest data from November 6 predicts that between November 17 and 23, snow flurries may reach as far south as four counties in southern England. The forecast highlights:
- Devon
- Dorset
- Somerset
- Cornwall
WX Charts maps show purple, white, and grey zones indicating snowfall accumulation around November 19, with several centimetres expected in some areas.
Meteorologists’ Outlook
This week is forecast to start off mostly dry and settled and probably on the cold side, especially in the south, with some overnight frosts and fog patches. With pressure likely to remain high to the northwest of Britain, there is potential for brief northerly blasts, but widespread snowfall looks unlikely.
The statement from Netweather TV suggests generally dry, calm weather despite lower temperatures, with only short-lived snow events possible later in the week.
Summary
Southern England may see temporary but heavy snow in mid-November, especially in coastal and western counties, though widespread disruption remains uncertain.
