The weather agency said reports of widespread snow 'don't reflect the reality of the current forecast'
The Met Office has issued its latest verdict on reports that parts of the UK could see snowfall at the end of October.
Although "chillier weather" can be expected in the north, the Met Office said, there is no suggestion of widespread snow hitting the UK in the coming days. In fact, snow is only a possibility on "high ground" which is "normal" at this time of the year, the forecasters confirmed.Issuing its verdict on X, formerly Twitter, the Met Office wrote: "A reminder that some online snow headlines don't always reflect the reality of the current forecast.
In its long-range forecast for October 28 to November 6, the Met Office said: "Initially breezy with large amounts of cloud and some outbreaks of rain, especially in northern and western areas, with generally drier conditions farther southeast. However, high pressure is likely to build more strongly across the southern half of the UK by midweek, tending to restrict any wet and windy weather to the far northwest.
