Weather experts have pinpointed the exact time when the first snow of autumn will cover the UK this weekend, based on newly released weather maps and forecasting charts. Flurries of snow are expected to begin around midnight on Sunday, September 21, with temperatures dropping to 0 degrees Celsius. The areas most likely to see snowfall are from Inverness to Struan in Scotland, particularly central Scotland.

Looking ahead to the week, meteorologist Jo Farrow from Netweather TV anticipates a decrease in windy conditions on Tuesday, but showers will persist in the northern half of the UK. Another Atlantic low-pressure system is on its way, bringing more wind and rain, with strong winds and gales affecting Northern Ireland, the Irish Sea, and western Scotland.

According to James Madden from Exacta Weather, while some parts of northern Scotland may experience cooler and unsettled weather, the rest of the country will enjoy early autumn warmth with above-average temperatures. Temperatures could reach the mid to high 20s in the warmest areas, extending across the southern half of the country and even into parts of the Midlands and central England later in the week. However, there is a possibility of low pressure systems returning towards the end of the week, as indicated by future computer model runs.
