THE Met Office was warned it could snow in the coming weeks.

The weather forecasters have just released their latest long-range forecast.

And it says from Sunday, November 10 to Sunday, November 24, higher ground is "likely" to see snow at times as temperatures dip below normal for that time of year.

That means locations in Sussex could be at risk of snow.

The Met Office's long-range forecast says: "Through this period confidence is low.

"However, unsettled conditions look more likely, giving showers or longer spells of rain, with snow likely at times on high ground.

"Some more settled spells are possible, with driest conditions most likely to be in the north and northwest of the UK.

"Through mid to late November we may see a change to more frequent west or southwesterly winds with wetter conditions in the west and drier spells in the east.

"Although temperatures may be below average at first, they are expected to become near average through mid to late November, with more in the way of mild spells."

Temperatures at the start of next month are expected to be around normal or just below for the time of year as wet weather sweeps across the country.

The Met Office goes on to explain that predicting a weather forecast for anything from five days or beyond is difficult due to "the chaotic nature of the atmosphere".

It continues that while they "can still forecast the general feel of the weather to a relatively high level of accuracy", they are unable to be too specific with their predictions.

Earlier this month, they refuted suggestions that the UK could be in line for its coldest winter "in 50 years".

They stated it was impossible to make any such predictions with any degree of certainty.
