Mid-November Weather Outlook
Netweather TV’s forecast for November 17–23 predicts:
"This week is forecast to start off mostly dry and settled and probably on the cold side, especially in the south, with some overnight frosts and fog patches. With pressure looking likely to remain quite high to the north-west of Britain, there is potential for one or two short lived northerly blasts, but again widespread snowfall looks unlikely."
Drivers have also been warned about a possible scrapping of a car tax perk for the first time in the UK, adding to winter season concerns.
Summary
The south of England is expected to experience wintry conditions mid-November, with snowfall possibly reaching 3cm per hour in some counties, though widespread snow remains unlikely.
