Weather forecasts predict that snow will affect 26 counties across the UK starting May 6, despite the possibility of temperatures reaching 26°C in southern England. The ECMWF weather model indicates that snow flurries will first appear in northern Scotland before moving south, impacting various regions including parts of England and Northern Ireland. By the evening of May 6, heavy snow is expected over mountainous areas in Scotland, with some lower regions also experiencing flurries. The Met Office has noted that while snow may struggle to accumulate in low-lying areas, up to 15cm of snow could settle in higher grounds of northeast Scotland. Additionally, the Met Office has warned of unsettled conditions, with rain and potential thundery showers expected to spread from the southwest. As the Bank Holiday weekend approaches, a mix of showers and sunny intervals is anticipated.
