A new map shows exactly which parts of the UK will see Arctic chaos by the end of the month - with weeks still to go until Christmas. Scotland has a 90 per cent chance of snow next week, on November 19, it is feared.

England, Wales and Northern Ireland sit at around a 60 per cent risk. Manchester, Liverpool, Norwich, Ipswich, Newcastle and Leeds in England have been earmarked as destined for flurries next week, with Swansea and Aberystwyth too.

Liverpool, Bolton and Manchester will be hit in the North West, and Hull, York, Leeds and Wakefield are also braced for a dusting, alongside Barnsley, Bradford and Burnley. The list is completed by Huddersfield and Middlesbrough and Durham and Newcastle and Scarborough.

Wales will see Swansea, Llaneli, Carmarthen, Pembroke, Cardigan and Aberystwyth hit. Scotland faces flurries in Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Peterhead, Fraserburgh, Elion, Elgin, Inverness, Nairn, Dingwall, Gairlock, Ullapool, Wick, Thurso, Shetland Islands and Orkney Islands.

The Hebrides will also be hit. Northern Ireland could see flurries in Londonderry, Belfast, Antrim, Ballymoney and Omagh. Netweather TV says of November 18 onwards: "There will be snow on high ground, especially in the north, with a chance of sleet and snow penetrating to low levels at times, again especially in the north.

"Any accumulations of snow at low levels are likely to be localised and short lived. However, there is potential for disruptive wet snow to affect some areas, most likely in the form of showers near north-facing coasts or on the northern flank of frontal systems and troughs crossing England and Wales.

"Persistent rain, sleet and snow is most likely to affect England and Wales from time to time, with Scotland and Northern Ireland mostly seeing sunshine and wintry showers."
