Certain parts of the UK could see temperatures drop to zero in certain areas, forecasters claim
Met Office weather forecasters have predicted the first snow of late 2024 as an 'Arctic blast' could send temperatures plummeting below zero in parts of the UK.
However the Met Office has warned that the week ahead will see a major departure from conditions that have defined the UK's weather for months, with temperatures predicted to rapidly plummet, the Mirror reports.As snow falls for the first time in this half of 2024, the agency has warned that the mercury could plummet to zero and below.
"It's possible there could be some snow on the very tops of the highest peaks in Scotland. We're talking above around 800 meters." At the same time, the forecasters predict, the lowest temperatures in Wales will be 3C. By Thursday, Scotland will have only gotten chillier, reaching -2C in the coldest areas while Wales, following a similar track, sees its temperatures plummet to 0C. Scotland is expected to be the only home nation that sees a trace of snow, however.
