Met Office weekend weather forecast for North East as 'Arctic cold snap' sets in
Arctic air following Storm Benjamin will bring below-average temperatures, strong winds, frost, and possible snow on Scottish high ground, warns the Met Office.
- On Saturday, October 25 the Met Office warned this weekend will deliver the season's first significant cold snap, expected to continue into Sunday, October 26.
- After Storm Benjamin shifted east, the Met Office downgraded some warnings as cold Arctic air poised to sweep across the UK and push temperatures below average.
- Strong winds will produce northerly gusts up to 41mph, deepening wind chill with Newcastle no warmer than 4°C on Saturday, October 25; there is a reasonable chance of sleet and snow over the Scottish Highlands and Grampians above 400 metres.
- Saturday should be the driest day while Sunday starts dry then turns cloudier with rain later, and the Met Office warned frost is possible and urged to 'be prepared' for wintry conditions on high ground.
- Long-Range forecasts show an unsettled end of October and start of November with wetter, windier weather, though the Met Office says there is 'no sign of any lasting notable cold'.
