A new ‘snow map’ as predicted that snow will fall on Derry this Saturday.

According to the map at WXCharts.com, snow is predicted to fall on Saturday, December 2 as temperatures fall below freezing. The map shows a purple cloud, which symbolises snow, covering the city from 6pm although the snow is not expected to stick around for very long.

Met Éireann predicts that temperatures will drop below zero on Wednesday, November 29 and that sleet may come as early as Friday evening, with heavy sleet or snow expected from Saturday night into Sunday morning. Temperatures will stay below 4 degrees Celsius.

Meanwhile, the UK Met Office suggests temperatures will fall to -1 degrees on Saturday night with a chance of mist but have no indication of any snowfall as of yet. A more detailed report is expected in the coming days as the weekend draws closer, when we’ll see the full weather prediction for the weekend.
