Temperatures are plummeting across the UK and Norfolk could see snow as soon as next week.

Weather forecaster WX Charts has predicted that snow could fall in parts of north Norfolk.

The Met Office long-range forecast predicts "colder than average" conditions are on the way with lows of 1C on Sunday morning in Norwich.

There is also a chance of wintry showers this weekend in coastal areas and strong winds.

When and where there could be snow in Norfolk

WX Charts predicts that snow could fall in King's Lynn, Dereham, Holt and Hunstanton by Thursday at around 6am.

This snowfall could stretch to as far as Norwich - but it is predicted that the rest of the county will be met with rain for the rest of the morning until around midday.

There could then be more snow on Friday also around 6am on the north Norfolk coast.

But a Met Office spokesman has said that there is a "very small chance" of people seeing snow next week.

"The early part of next week is most likely to be characterised by light winds and a mixture of wetter, cloudier conditions and colder, brighter and drier conditions before winds from a broadly northwesterly direction become more established," he said.

"These will lead to periods of wet or showery weather focussed in the northwest of the UK and largely dry weather elsewhere.

"Temperatures overall are most likely to be just a little colder than average, with only a very small chance of something much colder and wintry developing from mid to late next week."
