Nearby, lower ground regions see between 8cm and 11cm. The early forecast from the Met Office for the rest of November and into early December explains: "Turning more unsettled and significantly colder as we head into the weekend with low pressure probably becoming established to the east of the UK bringing rain or showers to most regions.

"The heaviest and most frequent spells of rain are most likely in the north where they are likely to turn wintry, especially to the hills of Scotland, but perhaps also to lower levels as colder air digs south. The chance of any widespread or disruptive snowfall affecting more populated areas at this stage however remains low.

"Parts of the south may well see a fair amount of fine and dry weather. Often windy, with a chance of gales at times, especially in the north and east. Temperatures falling below average and feeling particularly cold in the strong winds."

Today will be a bright and dry day for Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. England will see some patchy cloud, with the chance of a few showers in the far south-east, where it will also be windy, the BBC said.
