SNOW is expected to fall in parts of the UK over the next few weeks, according to the Met Office.
Brits have been advised to keep warm as chilly conditions set in – particularly at night.
From November 16, snow is expected in the hills of Scotland with a “low chance” of “widespread or disruptive” flurries in “more populated areas”, the Met Office says.
Low pressure to the east of Britain will bring rain or showers for most at the end of this week.
More imminently, there will be blustery winds in the South East tonight with mist and thick fog for some.
Temperatures will fall to a freezing OC in parts overnight.
The fog and frost will clear by tomorrow morning and it is expected to be sunny for many.
There will however be light rain across western Scotland.
It’ll gradually turn cloudier towards the end of the week with some rain in the North.
Conditions will turn more unsettled over the weekend and it will be “significantly colder” from Saturday, the Met Office says.
There will be heavy and frequent rain from next week for northern parts of the country.
There is also a chance of gales lashing Britain later this month, expecially in the North and the East.
Temperatures will be “below average” during this period and it’ll feel “particularly cold”, according to the Met Office.

Met Office’s long range weather forecast
Weather forecast for 16 November to 25 November
Turning more unsettled and significantly colder as we head into the weekend with low pressure probably becoming established to the east of the UK bringing rain or showers to most regions.
The heaviest and most frequent spells of rain are most likely in the north where they are likely to turn wintry, especially to the hills of Scotland, but perhaps also to lower levels as colder air digs south.
The chance of any widespread or disruptive snowfall affecting more populated areas at this stage however remains low.
Parts of the south may well see a fair amount of fine and dry weather. Often windy, with a chance of gales at times, especially in the north and east. Temperatures falling below average and feeling particularly cold in the strong winds.
