Exacta weather expert James Madden said: “October is now looking like it will turn out to be colder than average with more of a chance of something wintry setting in through the second half of the month.
“There is a strong chance of widespread frosts and the chance of snowfall which will set the scene for November.
“This will pave the way for what is shaping up to be a colder than average winter with some extreme cold weather events.
“While these could start to make an impact within the next few weeks they will be particularly troublesome from December onward.
“Snow events have been few and far between in recent years, but this winter is looking favourable to bring snow event after snow event as weather systems from the Atlantic clash with cold stagnated air over the UK.”
That could mean a bitterly cold spell to rival the freezing winter of 1963 – which is said to have been the coldest for 200 years.

Mr Madden added: “Snow events have been few and far between in recent years, but this winter is looking favourable to bring snow event after snow event as weather systems from the Atlantic clash with cold stagnated air over the UK.
“This is relevant as solar energy effects ocean currents including the Gulf Stream currents which have a knock-on effect on the jet stream brining cold air in the UK and bringing these weather patterns.
“Applying these factors to long-range weather indications can successfully allow us to identify cold weather patterns coming up.
“Similar methods have allowed us to identify some previous record-breaking cold weather events such as those seen in 2010 and 2013 when cold weather lasted into spring.”

Mike Saunders, a professor of climate prediction at University College, London told The Sunday Times last month: “This would rank the 2020 January-February central England temperature as the coldest winter since 2013.
“It would also rank January-February 2020 as the seventh coldest winter in the past 30 years.”
Temperatures are predicted to go as low as -14C, reminiscent of the “Beast from the East” which covered the UK in a blanket of snow in 2018.
