The current wintry cold weather<\/a> appears set to continue into December, as snow returns to parts of the UK and temperatures plunge to a bitter -6 \u00b0C. New weather maps<\/a> from WXCHARTS, which uses MetDesk data, have revealed a period of unsettled weather beginning in mere hours.<\/p>\n

From 6pm today and extending into Monday, snow and freezing temperatures<\/a> are forecast to batter parts of Scotland. This evening, the mercury could plummet to as low as -6C in the Scottish Highlands near the Cairngorms – much colder than the November average of 8C for the country. By 3am tomorrow, snowfall is expected across much<\/a> of Scotland, from Loch Lomond to Cape Wrath.<\/p>\n

The Cairngorms are once again expected to be the worst-affected part of the country, with as much as four inches (10cm) of snow forecasted for Monday.<\/p>\n

Overall, the worst-affected areas will be: Aberdeenshire, Banffshire, Moray, Inverness-shire, Perthshire, and Ross and Cromarty.<\/p>\n

Separately, the Met Office<\/a> forecast for November 30 reads: “Early clear spells will allow a frost to form in the east.<\/p>\n

“However, milder, wet and windy weather will sweep in across all parts from the west overnight. The rain will be particularly heavy across some western areas.”<\/p>\n

Its forecast for tomorrow (December 1) states: “England, Wales and parts of southern Scotland will be cloudy with some heavy rain, particularly in the west.<\/p>\n

“Windy for many. Coastal gales. Brightening up elsewhere with the odd shower.”<\/p>\n

The national weather agency has also issued three yellow and one amber weather alert for Monday<\/a>, warning of heavy rain and flooding.<\/p>\n

Some homes and businesses in the affected areas are likely to flood, and power outages should also be expected.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The current wintry cold weather appears set to continue into December, as snow returns to parts of the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":604668,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,4],"tags":[13222,1142,12,2462,16,11414,12426,1190,15,10655],"class_list":{"0":"post-604667","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-uk","8":"category-united-kingdom","9":"tag-cold-weather","10":"tag-met-office","11":"tag-news","12":"tag-snow","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-uk-snow","15":"tag-uk-snow-forecast","16":"tag-uk-weather","17":"tag-united-kingdom","18":"tag-weather-warnings"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115642623890868665","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/604667","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=604667"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/604667\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/604668"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=604667"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=604667"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=604667"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
