Met Office forecast predicts when North East will see snow next this winter
We saw a couple of days of snow earlier this month and the Met Offive forecast has predicted when flurries may return.
Mid November saw the North East get hit by a major cold spell, bringing freezing temperatures and wintry conditions to the region.
With that in mind, which can we expect the snowy and icy conditions to return?
The Met Office’s daily forecast runs through the upcoming seven days, with no mention of snow, ice or other wintry weather, although there is some expected later into December.
Looking at the weather service’s medium to long range forecast, some colder conditions may be on the horizon.
This forecast runs from Saturday, November 29 until Monday, December 8 and reads: “Changeable and unsettled conditions are expected across the UK during this period.
“Low pressure systems will tend to dominate meaning showers or longer spells of rain for much of the UK, though there will likely be some brief settled interludes.
“Some heavy rain or showers are expected, most often in the west, although with a risk some of this could spread to other areas at times. Snow will probably be confined to high ground in the north.
“Periods of strong wind are possible, especially around coasts and if any deep areas of low pressure form in the vicinity of the UK.”
