UK Weather: The Met Office is to announce the exact date that snow could fall this week

Conditions appear isolated on higher ground as forecasters released their short to medium term weather forecast for December.

Met Office meteorologists have warned of the risk of “winter” showers between December 2nd and 11th.

They warned: “The more generally consistent pattern is favored for the remainder of the period, but with the possibility of showers pouring into the north-eastern coastal areas along the south coast and perhaps slightly more sustained rain to the west and south-west.”

The Met Office added: “These can get wintry but that risk is mainly confined to higher ground. Temperatures are expected to be slightly below average through early December, particularly in the south where easterly winds are making it feel slightly cooler.”
