Meteorologist Aidan McGivern told LBC: ‘By the end of the week we are going to see cold winds arrive from the north.
‘It’s going to feel colder this week and there will be some snow showers over, mainly, hills of northern Scotland.
‘But elsewhere, with high pressure in place, it is going to be mostly dry on Friday and into the start of the weekend.
‘Although those showers will be falling as sleet and snow over the hills of northern Scotland, perhaps to lower levels in the far north, for the vast majority despite the chill in the air, it’s a dry, it’s a bright day.
‘As we head into the weekend it is a continuation of that theme.
‘Those showers falling as snow mostly over northern hills, but widespread snow very unlikely, and for the vast majority it’s just dry, crisp, bright autumn weather.
