The Met Office has responded to reports of widespread snow that was predicted to hit the UK in early December.
Regarding any upcoming snowfall, experts from the national weather service have said there will be some light dusting on Scottish mountains, but it is likely that there will be no "Beast from the East".
The weather experts debunked the white winter rumours, although they did add that despite an "average" start to December, temperatures could become colder than usual.
As reported by Liverpool Echo, the Met Office said: "Temperatures overall likely to be around average at first, but with an increased change of somewhat colder conditions developing, compared to the start of this period."
They confirmed that widespread snow and disruption is unlikely at the beginning of the month.
Both Glasgow and Edinburgh are currently forecasted to sit around seven degrees when December arrives this Thursday.
There may be slightly warmer temperatures in Aberdeen which is forecasted to hit at around nine degrees on December 1.
Previously, Jim Dale, meteorologist for British Weather Services said: "There is a change in weather patterns now looking likely at the start of December.
"If this happens, we are in a classic position to get a cold flow in from the east, and with that, snow, ice and very cold winds."
He added: "This is an indicator of a Beast from the East, and although it has not woken up fully yet, it is safe to say the beast is opening its eyes."
