The worst of the extreme weather may not be over for the month, as one forecaster says snow may fall soon. In the wake of Storm Ciaran, people in the UK have been warned they may wake up one morning to a blanket of snow from an Arctic plume.

It's due to a band of low pressure which could bring icy conditions later in the month as the weather turn increasingly wintry. Forecaster James Madden said a band of low pressure from the north made snow in some parts of the UK "likely", with the UK likely to see one or two particularly cold spells before Christmas.

The Mirror reported how the Exacta Weather forecaster said that, from around mid-month onwards, the UK could see "even greater and more significant dumps of snow across higher ground in the north". James added: "It is now increasingly likely that we will see at least 1-2 notable wintry blasts from late November and into the first half of December, but it may turn milder or much milder later.

"However, a sudden stratospheric warming event from later this month and into December could change that outlook to an even colder and more wintry theme for many parts of the country, and would drastically change the overall outlook for December as a whole, particularly, during the second half of the month, and increasing our white Christmas chances significantly under such circumstances."

Brits face one or two cold snaps in the run-up to Christmas, according to James, with temperatures set to drop below 5C on November 11 signalling an early winter. Weather charts on WXCharts meanwhile show a band of snow to hit the west coast of Scotland from November 10.

Responding to the forecast, a Met Office spokesperson told Mirror Online: "As [the long range weather forecast] states, conditions are likely to remain generally on the mild side for the time of year, therefore the is a very low chance of seeing snow over the whole of the UK in the coming weeks. There will likely be snow over the Scottish mountains at times (there already has been), but this is normal for the time of year."

According to the Met Office's long range forecast from Thursday November 9 to Saturday November 18, the weather remains "predominantly unsettled" across this period as low pressure is "likely to track east across northern areas of the UK at the end of coming weeks, bringing further rain or showers to many areas."

It adds: "By mid month, the most unsettled conditions are likely to transfer further north, with areas further south perhaps having some drier spells of weather at times. Within these drier spells, some overnight frost and fog is possible, but possibly becoming relatively mild by day."
