Brits have been warned about some of the harshest, snowiest winter weather in years. Experts predict the cold will set in at the start of next month and said that it would likely be worst compared to recent years with the mercury about to plunge. 

 

James Madden, forecaster for Exacta Weather, said: "From the late part of this weekend and into next week things will turn much colder from the north and spreading to many other parts of the country.

 

"This will then pave the way for a quite cold and much more traditional November period to end the meteorological autumn.

 

"This will also bring an increase in the snow risk levels across the country in among some periods of unsettled weather in November, and parts of the north will see some significant snow across higher ground.

 

"The Arctic Oscillation (AO) will start to trend more towards negative territory from this point forward and this will also begin to build the right conditions for a colder than average winter this year.

 

"There will be phases of strongly negative plunges particularly from December to January.

 

"This will result in some very potent or potentially memorable periods of cold and snow within this period for many parts of the country."
