Met Office UK snow forecast - Liverpool temperatures to plummet but will it snow?

Weather organisations have warned the public that the UK could see as many as five days of snowfall between now and the end of November.

Tyler Ros, who is a representative of agency AccuWeather, confirmed that the most likely period that could see snow is from Wednesday onwards.

“The threat for snow between November 17 and 22 looks to be around normal for the time of the year, which means any accumulating snow is likely to occur in the higher elevations of northern England and Scotland,” he said.

“We do have to watch a cold snap that appears to move into eastern Europe early next week.

“If this bleeds westward towards the UK (with the core of the cold remaining in eastern Europe), then the temperatures will be near to slightly below normal during this stretch,” he added.

But will these chillier temperatures and potentially snowy days be hitting Liverpool this week?
