Are you hoping for some snow?☃️ Colder air will make a return next week, but this time it will be joined by more unsettled weather. This means there is likely to be some snow in places. How much and where is still uncertain but there is the potential for some disruption due to snow and ice.

Will there be any more snow in November?

This is likely to be the only snow the UK sees for the rest of November, according to the Met Office.

The Met Office’s long-range forecast (for November 19 to 28) suggests a mix of rain and showers, particularly in the south and west, with drier, colder spells in between.

The forecast reads: "A changeable pattern is likely to continue, with areas of rain or showers affecting parts of the UK, particularly across the south and west.

"These will be interspersed with drier, colder interludes as shorter-lived ridges of high pressure develop.

"Weather patterns may become slower evolving during the latter stages of November, leading to some uncertainty over how much progress Atlantic frontal systems will make into the UK.

"Nonetheless, further rain or showers are likely at times, with the potential for some periods of strong winds.

"Incursions of milder air are likely towards the south, although it could remain on the cold side overall further north, where there is potential for overnight frosts and occasional wintry precipitation, particularly over higher ground."

Cold health alerts in place across the UK from Sunday

Cold weather health alerts have also been issued for large parts of the UK.

The warnings are expected to affect the North West, West Midlands, and Yorkshire and the Humber from 9pm on Sunday (November 15) until 9am on Thursday (November 19).

The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) said the alerts mean the weather is likely to have minor impacts on health and social care services, including an increased use of healthcare services and a greater risk to life to vulnerable people.

Paul Coleman, consultant in public health at the UKHSA, said: "This is the latest Cold-Health Alert of the season, and we can expect more as we move further into winter.

"Cold weather can have a serious impact on the health of some people, including those aged 65 and over and those with pre-existing health conditions, so it is vital to check in on friends, family and neighbours who are most vulnerable."

Mr Coleman said people should try to keep the rooms they use most heated and dress warmly during colder spells.
