Significant snowfall is expected across parts of the UK starting tomorrow, with some areas forecast to receive up to four inches of snow. According to charts from WX Charts, which utilize Met Desk and GFS model data, Friday, December 5, will see a marked change in weather conditions.
The most substantial snow accumulations are anticipated north of the border in Scotland. Cities such as Dundee, Glasgow, Perth, and Aberdeen are likely to experience the heaviest snowfalls, with flakes beginning to fall around 6pm according to the latest maps. Meanwhile, the rest of the UK will primarily face heavy rain.
In England, a band of rain is expected to move across southern and central regions, ushering in wet and unsettled conditions as it progresses eastward. The Met Office’s forecast for Thursday notes: “Rain moving north and east across most areas. Brighter weather with showers developing across southern England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Remaining bright and showery across northeast Scotland. Breezy for many.”

Looking ahead to the weekend, the Met Office adds: “Early fog, then bright and breezy, with fewer showers on Friday. Further wind and rain sweeping northeastwards through the day. Brighter with blustery showers on Saturday. Further rain on Sunday.”
The BBC highlights a similar outlook: “Friday will be partly cloudy for a time with just a few spots of rain in places. Heavy rain will push through from the south-west along with increasing winds later on. Unsettled on Saturday.”
Additionally, the BBC’s weather team warns of potential gales along the southern and northern coasts. Sunday is expected to be drier but dull in the morning, with another wave of rain arriving later in the day.
Residents across the UK should prepare for a shift to colder, wetter, and windier weather conditions, especially those in northern regions facing heavy snowfall.
