Scotland is set to be hit with a 36-hour long snowstorm next week according to shocking new weather maps.<\/a><\/p>\n Following Storm Amy, fresh data suggests more turbulent weather is on the way with new maps indicating the arrival of snow<\/a> in the coming fortnight.<\/p>\n Scotland will welcome the white stuff from 6pm on Friday, October 17 and it’ll continue to fall through to 6am on Sunday, October 19, according to WXCharts. The snow is set to first appear in Perth and Kinross on Friday evening, before intensifying over the weekend.<\/a><\/p>\n By Saturday, snow could be falling at a rate of 10cm per hour in the Scottish Highlands, with a total snow depth of around 25cm expected by 6pm, reports the Mirror<\/a>.<\/p>\n On Sunday, the snow<\/a> is predicted to spread beyond the Highlands and Western Scotland to central Wales. There, up to 20cm is forecast.<\/p>\n Over the weekend of October 18, Brits can expect chilly conditions<\/a> with temperatures set to drop to freezing. The data by WXCharts points to a widespread chill gripping the nation in the early hours of Saturday, October 18.<\/p>\n By midnight, the mercury is set to hover between 1C and 0C across much of Wales, and even hit -1C in parts of northern Scotland.<\/a><\/p>\n In its long-range forecast<\/a> for Saturday, October 18, to Saturday, November 1, the Met Office warns: “The latter half of October will see a transition to more widely unsettled conditions once more, though the timing of this remains unclear.<\/p>\n “Whether this takes the form of successive depressions moving in from the Atlantic or a rather slower evolving weather pattern remains to be seen, but there is a greater chance of more places seeing more frequent spells of rain or showers and possibly strong winds later in the month. Temperatures probably close to average overall.”<\/p>\n Snow typically appears in the UK between December and February – the coldest months – but it’s also possible from late November through March. Scotland’s Cairngorms in the Grampian Mountains are among the snowiest places in the UK<\/a>, according to the Met Office<\/p>\n Snow falls 76 days on average each year at the Cairngorm chairlift station, and 66 days at nearby Aviemore, based on data from 1981-2010. In Braemar, eastern Scotland, “The Big Snow” of 1982 saw the UK record one of its lowest ever temperatures<\/a>.<\/p>\n That winter of 1982 is known to be one of the country’s most severe<\/a> in history, and Braemar itself holds the joint record for the coldest ever recorded temperature in the UK at -27.2C.<\/p>\n Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.<\/p>\n You’ll receive daily updates on breaking news as well as the top headlines across Scotland.<\/p>\n No one will be able to see who is signed up and no one can send messages except the Daily Record team.<\/p>\n![\"Members](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/1_JS201789755.jpg\")
