Snow Forecast Summary - 31st October 2009

The main action this week was across the Atlantic as Western Canada took some big snowfalls. A little more snow fell in a few locations in The Alps, although the weather remained fairly settled with average to mild temperatures. The forecast, however, looks altogether more interesting for Europe...


Weather and Snow Next Week

The weather models are all converging very nicely and indicating a widespread and significant fall of snow early next week.

From Sunday night, temperatures will fall quickly - dropping by around 10 degrees C through Monday. Exact timings will vary but light snow at altitude overnight on Sunday will turn to heavy snow to quite low levels by Monday afternoon. The Northern Alps are likely to see the most snow, with accumulations of 30cm or more looking possible down to 1,000 metres in many locations. Further snowfall looks likely through Tuesday and Wednesday.

Although heaviest to the North, the snow should reach the Maritime Alpes and the Pyrenees in lesser quantities.

Temperatures will ease a little as the week progresses, although they now look set to stay below the seasonal average for the next week.
