Parts of Cumbria could see snow next week as temperatures are predicted to fall to around -5C.

Parts of Cumbria could see snow next week as temperatures are predicted to plunge to around -5C. Forecast data on WXCharts, using the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) model, suggests a sharp drop in temperatures across the county towards the end of next week.

The latest model run predicts temperatures could fall to -5.5C in Carlisle at 6am on Friday, November 13. Barrow-in-Furness could see temperatures fall to around -5C at the same time, while the Lake District could see lows of around -5.2C. The model also shows the possibility of snow in the Lake District later that day, with around 0.7cm of snowfall currently predicted by 6pm on November 13 and approximately 0.5cm of snow potentially lying on the ground.

However, forecasts more than a week in advance remain uncertain and are subject to change. The Met Office's current forecasts are considerably milder, with overnight temperatures of around 4C predicted in Carlisle, Penrith and Windermere on November 13, and around 5C in Barrow-in-Furness.

The Met Office's longer-range UK outlook for November 8 to 17 says temperatures are initially expected to be 'a little below average', before returning to near or slightly above average. The Met Office notes that precise local details become increasingly difficult to predict beyond five days, meaning the outlook could change before November 13.
