Suffolk braced for first autumn cold snap later this month

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 5 Nov, 14:44 · Archive

The Met Office forecasts colder conditions could spread across the UK during November, with temperatures in Suffolk expected to drop.

The Met Office has suggested colder conditions could spread across much of the UK during November, though there remains considerable uncertainty over exactly when temperatures will fall in Suffolk. Daytime temperatures are expected to peak between around 10C and 12C over the coming days.

Between 9 and 18 November, high pressure is expected to move away to the east, allowing weather fronts to push towards the UK from the south-west. This could initially bring milder and wetter conditions to southern areas before colder air potentially spreads down from the north towards the end of the period. The Met Office says the nature of this colder outbreak remains 'very uncertain', although northern parts of the UK could experience some wintry showers.

Looking further ahead between 19 November and 3 December, temperatures are expected to remain near or above average for much of the period. However, colder spells remain possible, particularly towards the end of November. Forecast models suggest snowfall could affect northern parts of Scotland towards the end of the month. Despite the wintry-looking forecast maps, there is currently no snow forecast for Suffolk.

The colder conditions would follow a particularly mild October, when East Anglia recorded a mean temperature of 12.6C, some 1.3C above average. October was also marked by unsettled weather, with Storm Austen and Storm Boelo hitting the UK in quick succession.
