UK snow and ice warnings issued as Arctic air sweeps in

Northerly winds will bring frequent showers to northern Scotland, probably falling as sleet and rain near to coastal areas.

The hills of northern Scotland will see regular snow showers with 5-10cm (2-4in) building up over hills and a few centimetres in some lower areas by Monday, with the potential for some localised disruption where it settles.

The ground in November is not as cold as it would be in midwinter so some of the snow hitting the roads will probably melt, though larger accumulations could gather on colder grassy surfaces.

Many inland areas of the UK are likely to see quite a lot of dry weather with morning frosts and sunny skies.

Showers will be frequent in Northern Ireland along with coastal areas of England and Wales – these will probably be mixed with some rain, sleet and hail.
