, sleet and snow in the south-east clearing by the afternoon, wintry showers over eastern coasts spread into central and western parts through the day, with 10 cm of lying snow being recorded at Redesdale Camp (Northumberland). Further frost led into another cold day on the 2nd, Holne Priddon’s Farm

, with some showers falling as sleet and snow over the mountain tops and hail at lower levels. The wind will make it feel even colder, although skies will be brighter compared to the south. The outbreaks of rain across the middle of the country will shift position later in the week, but the boundary

in marginal situations.  For example, they help determine whether precipitation will fall as rain, snow, or sleet, or whether fog is likely to form. By comparing current conditions with these equations, meteorologists can quickly assess whether the model output is realistic and make adjustments

.” Paul Davies added: “It’s a close call with only minor wobbles in the weather patterns changing the course of the evolution and associated impact to the UK.” Through to early March, there is increasing chance of sleet or snow, especially in the north and east of the UK with greater than normal

could also shift northwards. With colder air in place, there is a risk of sleet or snow, especially over higher ground in northern England and southern Scotland. Early next week: Unsettled and variable As we move into the start of December, the unsettled theme continues. Monday may begin

widespread, blustery, and locally heavy, with isolated hail and thunder, only the north-east avoiding the worst of them. Eastern fringes were mainly bright or sunny on the 12th, with frequent, locally heavy, blustery showers, giving sleet, snow, hail and the occasional thunderstorm, and 3 cm of snow

sometimes bring hot, thundery weather. Easterly winds in winter bring very cold air to the British Isles. The characteristics and path of the air determine whether it is cloudy (with perhaps rain, sleet or snow) or fine and sunny. In summer, an easterly wind will mean it is cool on the east coast

. The monthly averages of days with sleet/snow falling and lying at Stornoway and Aviemore are shown below (a day of lying snow is counted if the ground is more than 50% covered at 0900). Heavy snowfalls can cause travel and power supply disruption. Examples include 28-29 January 1978 when strong NE winds

with snow lying has a similar distribution, with less than 5 in the islands and along the coast but over 30 days over the higher ground. These averages can be compared with the coasts of SW England where less than 3 days per year with lying snow. The monthly averages of days with sleet/snow falling
