Britain could experience a sudden cold snap due to the arrival of cold winds south from Iceland. 

Scotland may experience snow flurries by the week’s end, in particular the high-altitude areas. However, much of the country could see overnight frosts.  

The country’s weather has been dry for the last few days. There have been little rain or wind, and there was only mild frost overnight. 

Many migrants successfully cross the English Channel from France due to the calm environment. 

The chilly Icelandic air, however, is forecast to reach the last ten days in November and then continue on into December.  

Temperatures will remain above normal until Monday.

Much of the UK is expected to see cloudy conditions over the next 72 hours with the possibility of rain showers

The UK will see clouds for the next 72 hours, with rain showers possible. 

Met Office spokesperson: Temperatures across the UK are milder than normal of late. This was especially evident in Eastern Scotland where temperatures have reached the mid teens. 

A colder mass air over the weekend will produce temperatures that are closer to those in the UK. Some snow showers could occur in Scotland, but this is unlikely.

“By mid-week, it is possible that more colder air will once again be moving in from the North. It is not clear how cold or how far this air will move across the UK.

“There is low confidence in the probability of snow falling in the UK before the week ends. Snowfall conditions require specific conditions, which will become more clear as we get closer to the moment. As we approach the end of November, snow is not uncommon.

MeteoGroup says that although rain is expected to continue throughout northern and western Scotland in the evening, it will not be as severe elsewhere. Most areas will dry out overnight with clear skies, but there will still be clouds and mist. Scotland will see rain. 

Tomorrow will see early mist patches that are slow to lift due to cloudy skies in Scotland. Sunny spells are likely to prevail in the majority of the country. 

It will rain on Saturday and Sunday across Northern Ireland and Scotland. 

The South of England, however, will enjoy sunny spells.
