It’s not summer yet! Snow to hit Aberdeenshire, Moray and Highlands after week of warm weather

After a scorching weekend with highs of 19C in Aboyne, temperatures are set to plunge with snow forecast across Aberdeenshire and the Highlands.

Temperatures across the north-east will drop to as low as -4C as an arctic mass shifts over the top half of the UK, causing wintery showers.

There may even be the possibility of weather warnings for those travelling on higher grounds in the north due to adverse weather conditions.

Aberdeenshire experienced highs of 19C at the weekend, with people seen enjoying the long-awaited tropical heat across the region.

The warm weather was due to a high pressure dominating continental air, but will soon be shifted by sleet and snow showers later this week.

Just over a month ago the country was struck by Storm Eunice which brought eight hours of consistent snow causing major disruptions in the north-east.

Snow has been forecast across almost all of the Highlands with large parts of Moray and Aberdeenshire also due to be affected.

The wintry weather is due to start sweeping the north and north-east overnight between Tuesday and Wednesday and will continue into Thursday.

Richard Miles, Met Office weather forecaster, has said large parts of the north of Scotland can expect to see wintry showers in the coming days.

He said: “A cold front is currently moving across Shetland which will be moving south over the next coming days.

“There will be some wintery showers over Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, and the contrast between the recent hot temperatures will be the most noticeable thing.”

North and north-east both hottest and coldest on Sunday

Minimum temperatures on Wednesday

Snow showers will start in the morning in Aberdeen, Aviemore and Inverness, with more showers expected later on in the day and through the week.

The west of Scotland should expect lows of -1C with a mixed bag of some light snow showers, sleet and hail throughout the day.
