The mercury is set to plunge across Britain this month, with some areas being hit by snowfall. Forecasters are expecting the mild weather to come to an end as soon as next week week.
An interactive Snow Risk map from Netweather shows snow in the Scottish highlands over the next five days. The wintery conditions will then spread towards northern England at the end of the month.
As reported by The Mirror, the Met Office states that the current mild conditions are expected to last for another five days before the weather turns more unsettled. The forecaster says that rain and strong winds are set to hit Britain, with temperatures dropping to around 7C.

In Bristol, temperatures are set to drop to around 7C and 8C on Friday (November 12). The outlook also suggests a high chance of rainfall on Tuesday, with showers also expected on Thursday.
Met Office meteorologist Annie Shuttleworth told The Independent: “With average temperatures for this time of November, you can get rain falling as snow on the high grounds of Scotland as well as potentially the high ground of England and Northern Ireland.”
She added that wintery conditions will begin to pick up in the UK toward the end of the month with more dry and settled weather seen more widely leading to colder temperatures. “For the end of November, it generally looks like we’ll see high pressure and lots of dry and settled weather,” Ms Shuttleworth said.
Meanwhile, The Met Office has described today's temperatures as "exceptionally mild". Meteorologist Alex Deakin said this weekend will bring "misty and murky conditions" for many of us on both Saturday and Sunday, with "incredibly mild" temperatures.
He said: "As the wind starts to ease, we are likely to see more mist and fog so it could be quite another pretty grey start to Sunday morning.
"Even where it stays grey, temperatures again will be well above average, getting into the teens and with a bit of brightness, 16C, 17C."
