Winter is not quite ready to say goodbye to the UK just yet. As the country braces itself for a chilly weekend, the Met Office has revealed the exact time when snow is expected to fall. So, grab your coats and get ready for this wintery surprise!
Get Ready for Snow
According to the Met Office, snow is expected to make an appearance over the mountains of Scotland and even in northern England at 2 pm on Saturday. That’s right, at the stroke of 2 pm, you might witness the white stuff falling from the sky, turning the landscape into a winter wonderland.

Brace Yourself for Showers
But snow is not the only thing to expect. Today, the forecast predicts “chillier air” and outbreaks of rain in parts of the Midlands, south Wales, and the southwest of England. Scotland, Northern Ireland, northwest England, and Wales will all experience showers throughout the day. So, don’t forget your umbrella!

Changing Weather Conditions
As Saturday approaches, temperatures are set to plummet with single-digit figures of 3 or 4°C across most areas of the UK. Additionally, heavy showers are expected to spread across the country, accompanied by hailstorms, rumbles of thunder, and flashes of lightning. You can expect the weather to change rapidly, with one minute being fine and the next minute experiencing a downpour.
Calmer Weather Ahead
Luckily, Sunday will bring some relief as the weather will be brighter and drier for most regions. A mix of sunshine and blustery showers is expected, with the showers possibly turning into a wintry mix of rain, sleet, hail, and snow. However, any significant snowfall will likely be limited to higher ground in Scotland and possibly the far north of England.
Prepare for a Colder Spell
The return of wintry conditions means that it will feel much colder than it currently does, with overnight frosts becoming more frequent. So, make sure to wrap up warm and take extra care when heading outside during this chilly spell.
