We are bracing ourselves for a 11-day period of plunging temperatures and the possibility of wintry showers. Among the first UK regions to be affected is Yorkshire, where weather maps predict snowfall on Thursday.
Temperatures in South and North Yorkshire are expected to drop to -2C in certain areas, accompanied by wintry conditions. Additionally, Northumberland is anticipated to experience snowfall during this weather event. According to British Weather Services forecaster Jim Dale, the UK is on the outskirts of a more severe winter gripping Europe, Yorkshire Live reports.
It was confirmed that Yorkshire will be seeing snow in the Yorkshire Dales region from Wednesday 29th November. The snow will fall between 1am to 3am early morning with more predicted for Thursday. The snow comes after a cold snap across the county. Expect gritters on the road as temperatures are set to drop to -2C.
According to The Met Office, we can expect: “Colder than average conditions overall continue to be most likely overall.

“Winds are likely to often be from the north, with a mixture of cold, quiet periods and some more showery episodes with rain, sleet and possibly hill snow. Any sleet and snow showers would be most likely to affect northern and eastern coastal districts.
“Colder weather could persist throughout, however towards the end of the period there is an increasing likelihood of an upward trend in temperatures as new areas of cloud and rain attempt to move in from the Atlantic.”
The Mirror reported that, Dan Harris, the Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist, said: “At present, the most likely outcome beyond mid-week is that rain from the west slowly moves east, with snow possible over higher ground, and a continued risk of showers over eastern parts. However, there is a chance that a more active weather system arrives from the southwest, which would bring more widespread rain, stronger winds, and the potential for more significant snowfall should the air over the UK become sufficiently cold ahead of it.”
