Surrey is set to experience a chilling cold snap as temperatures plummet from 7C to -2C in the space of a couple of days. With overnight frosts, black ice and even the potential for snow, winter is finally here and in full force, according to the BBC[1] Weather forecast.
The beginning of next week will bring a decline in temperatures[2], dropping from 7C on Sunday, November 26, to just 3C on Monday, November 27. It’s set to rain overnight from Sunday into Monday morning, where temperatures on average will sit at around 7C while it is raining, dropping to 4C from 6pm when the rain finally stops.
On Tuesday, November 28, chilly[3] conditions will sweep the county, with highs of 4C and sunshine in the day, and an average of -2C overnight. Similar conditions can be expected on Wednesday, November 29, which gets off to a freezing start with an average of 0C, rising to 4C at midday.
As Wednesday continues, light rain could start to fall with temperatures of around 1C, which could bring sleet or snow, growing heavier into the early hours of Thursday morning, November 30. More potential for snow[4] grows as we reach Friday, December 1, with lows of -3 in the early hours of the morning, and a drizzly morning and dry afternoon.
To prepare for the cold weather ahead, make sure to wrap up warm when heading out. Those who are should check road and rail conditions before setting off.
