Nottinghamshire snow 2025: The exact chances of snowfall in Nottinghamshire as November approaches

A certainty at this time of year is vague tabloid headlines pointing to ‘snow bombs’ or ‘arctic blasts’ bringing Siberian-type snowfall to the UK.

These articles are usually wide of the mark, with October snow here in the UK very rare.

In October 2008 it snowed as far south as London, with up to 3cm lying across parts of southern England.

But these weather events are few and far between, with October’s average daily temperature sitting at roughly 13C.

Snow in November is much more likely, as Nottinghamshire experienced in 2024.

We’re now in mid-October, and forecasters such as BBC Weather are starting to release their predictions for a fortnight’s time, which takes us to the end of the month.

As the start of November nears, we’ve cut through the headlines and taken a cold, hard look at the facts to see if Nottinghamshire could be in for some snow over the next few weeks.

Will it snow in Nottinghamshire during October 2025?

The latest BBC Weather forecast, which stretches between Thursday, October 16 and Wednesday, October 29, does not predict any snow for Nottinghamshire during this period.

However, early indications are that temperatures will fall towards the end of the month, with daytime highs of 11C and night-time lows of 4C.

WX Charts, which produces weather maps using MetDesk data, does not predict any snowfall in Nottinghamshire between October 16 and Saturday, November 1.

While some heavy snow is forecast for parts of the Scottish Highlands during the last week of October, WX Charts does not indicate any snowfall for England during this period.
