Exact date snow will hit Scotland as UK temperatures to plunge to a chilly -6C
dailyrecord.co.ukSnow could return to parts of Scotland as the UK's temperatures are set to plummet to as low as - 6C due to an amplified jet stream.The Met Office have said that the torrential rain that is currently lashing the country is to transform into colder conditions from next week.
Scotland has seen heavy winds and rains this week, with several flood alerts in place for some areas. However, these blustery conditions are set to be replaced with much lower temperatures, heightening the risk of snow on Wednesday, reports the Mirror.The weather is predicted to take an icy turn for some parts of the UK from today, with mountain ranges in the north of Scotland set to be hit by snow, according to Snow Forecast's weather map.
It comes as Scots were subject to flurries of snowfall just before Christmas, with many being forced to bump up the heating.
Met Office meteorologist and presenter Aidan McGivern said: “Next week, the jet stream is a bit more amplified and it’s coming at the UK from the northwest rather than from the west like recent days.“This subtle change into the start of next week will see colder weather coming in and rather than prolonged bouts of rain from the west, we’re likely to see rain and showers coming from the northwest.“These showers from the north could fall as snow over the high parts of Scotland, northern England and Northern Ireland later in the weekend, and as we move through next week often below average temperatures could support a mixture of rain, hail sleet and snow."Most of any snow accumulation is likely over higher parts of the northern UK.
