Higher than normal chance of wintry weather conditions on the way for Southport and the north

The Met office long range weather forecast is predicting a higher than normal chance of wintry weather later in the month.

Towards the end of November and into early December there are signs of an increased likelihood of north to northwesterly winds. This means that overall temperatures are likely to be near or slightly below average, although some milder spells cannot be ruled out. 

In such patterns the most unsettled, wetter and windier conditions are often found across northern areas, while the most settled, driest and brightest conditions are predominantly across the south. 

There is a slightly higher than normal chance of some wintry conditions, especially across the north.
