@weather.co.uk: UK and Ireland are bracing for a major early winter blast. A surge of Arctic air will bring heavy rain, sleet, and widespread snow, with up to 10–15 cm in Scotland, 2–5 cm across Northern England, and 1–3 cm for parts of Ireland, Wales, and the Midlands. As the cold deepens, temperatures could plunge to –8°C in some northern areas, signalling a shockingly early start to winter across the country. #Weather #Winter #Snow #Uk #Winter2025
