Thread: November weather !!

petal

Cold end to October may stretch to early November.

The month ahead will start on a rather wintry note for late October, with daytime temperatures more akin to what would be expected on a December day!
This early taste of winter isn't expected to last for too long, as normal service resumes in subsequent weeks. Wet and windy weather will be interspersed with quieter spells, along with the chance of night time frosts.
Temperatures will tend to be slightly below average over the next few weeks, which will be welcome news for Scottish ski resorts, as it will help to preserve the early season snow that falls.
Monday 27 October to Sunday 02 November

“Cold snap set to affect all of the British Isles.”

The levels of certainty about the UK forecast are high in the short term. It's not long into the week, however, before the level of agreement between numerical models from across the world is disappointingly low.
A common theme is for the winds to turn to the north, ushering in the much-vaunted cold spell. It's the other facets of the weather that are the source of some disagreement.
Monday is but a prelude to the main event, with a north-westerly wind only giving a foretaste of things to come. Sunny spells and showers will be the order of the day, with a cooler feel.
During Tuesday, colder, Arctic air will flood across all parts to deliver extensive night frosts and the threat of wintry showers at low levels.
There may also be a significant snow event for the northeast of Scotland, particularly the Northern Isles, but this is one of the events on which opinion is split.
By midweek, a feature running from Iceland towards Northern Ireland, the west of Wales and southwest England is the main cause of concern. There could well be a spell of hill snow as the low pressure moves in.
The additional cloud and change of wind direction may help to lift temperatures slightly in western areas but the week will remain unusually cold further east.
Later in the week, north-easterly winds may provide showers to eastern areas with the best of the sunshine to be found in the west.

Monday 03 November to Sunday 09 November

"Cold start replaced by something more seasonal - a return to wet and windy weather."

The cold north to north-westerly airstream is expected to be replaced by a more typical westerly weather type.
After a cold start to the week with widespread frosts and wintry showers in the north, conditions are expected to become more typical for early November with spells of wet and windy weather, interspersed by drier and brighter conditions.
The best of any fine and dry weather will be in the south. Rainfall is expected to be close to average in the period with temperatures eventually recovering to near or just below normal after a cold start.

Monday 10 November to Sunday 23 November

Southern areas set to see the bulk of the rain as pressures builds in the north.

Generally westerly winds will continue through the month although pressure may rise across the north of the British Isles, bringing fine days and frosty nights.
This ridge of high pressure in the north may force low pressure areas to bring their wet and windy conditions further south.
Temperatures are expected to be near or below average, particularly in the north. Rainfall should be below average in the north and near average in the south.
