Whilst the countdown to Christmas 2021 saw very brief flurries of flakes in specific areas and none at all for others, likely leaving many snow enthusiasts living in the capital more than a little disappointed.īetween January and March, snow in the UK is also more common regardless of area so the idea of snow in the UK in November and December is also rarer anyway. Even in March 2022 when northern English cities such as Leeds and Manchester experienced heavy snowfall, only a light dusting was glimpsed in London on the 31st. Unfortunately for Londoners who so rarely get to experience full-on snow days, 2022 hasn't seen the arrival of any major snow in the UK yet and none is currently predicted for the coming weeks. In light of this, it’s perhaps more likely that those who reside in Scotland and northern England could be amongst those who might see some of the first snow in the UK this autumn and winter. ![]() Similarly, whilst there were occasional predictions of snow over the hills and mountains of Wales, the country didn’t experience huge snowfalls pre-Christmas. Southern England didn’t get nearly as much snow and people who live here were far more likely to have frost and bitterly cold temperatures and rain, rather than flurries.

This was especially the case for northern Scotland and for areas of higher ground in Scotland, though northern England was also frequently forecast to have snow last year. Scotland was hit badly by the adverse weather conditions brought by Storms Arwen and Barra and was predicted to see snow first. Will it snow anywhere else in the UK?Īlthough it’s not yet known where and when exactly we could experience some snow days in the UK over the coming months, in 2021 it was Scotland that saw much of the heavy snowfall. Considering the timing of the pre-Christmas snow in the UK last year, it could be that Brits won’t be likely to see many flurries falling again in 2022 until around November. ![]() This November storm was soon followed by Storm Barra which left 1,700 homes without power in the north east of Scotland, as revealed by the BBC (opens in new tab), with major travel disruption and blizzards.
