According to the latest update from the Met Office, we can expect a brief reprieve from the recent stormy weather and frigid temperatures. This weekend, our weather will experience a bit of a topsy-turvy situation, as an unseasonably warm spell will be sandwiched between the chaos of Storm Bert and Storm Conall. It's been quite a turbulent week for the UK, with these two storms bringing heavy rain and flooding to many areas.
But don't get too comfortable just yet, as this mild spell will only be temporary. After the plummeting temperatures that hit -9C in some parts of the country, we can expect a quick revival in the mercury levels. This means that the official start of meteorological winter on December 1st won't feel like winter at all. According to meteorologist Tom Morgan from the Met Office, we can expect temperatures to be five, six, or even seven degrees above the average for this time of year. Quite a surprise for late November and early December!
However, this warm weather won't last long. By late Sunday, things will start to cool down across Scotland, and by Monday, that cold air will make its way down to the rest of the UK. So enjoy the brief mild spell while you can, because colder temperatures will be back early next week. In fact, Mr Morgan suggests that we should prepare for potentially disruptive weather in the middle of the week.
But what about snow? Will we finally get a white Christmas this year? Unfortunately, the answer is still uncertain. According to the Met Office, it's too early to make any predictions about the nature of the disruption. However, they do mention that temperatures could rise up to seven degrees above average for this time of year, making it feel more like April than December. But by next week, we can expect things to return to normal, with temperatures being either average or slightly above. Of course, there is always a chance for some temporary colder interludes, but nothing too drastic.
As for the possibility of snow, the Met Office believes that it is too early to tell. They mention that if it does happen, it will most likely affect the north and north-west of the UK. But as we all know, even the slightest change in temperature can make a huge difference in whether we get snow or rain. So for now, let's not get our hopes up for a white Christmas just yet. Let's enjoy the brief mild spell and keep an eye out for any updates from the Met Office. After all, it's still a bit too early to be talking about snow for next week and Christmas.
