Powys can expect snow this week according to BBC Weather's forecast. 

The weather forecast has been released for the week, revealing exactly when it is going to snow in parts of Powys.

The County Times reported last Friday (November 24) that maps from WX Charts showed up to 10cm per hour of snow was due to fall in parts of Wales.

Brecon was among the areas which was likely to see the most snow with other areas in Powys, including Newport, also expected to see snow this week.

Now the BBC's weather forecast for this week has further confirmed snow in Powys.

Not only will there be snow, but temperatures in some locations - including Brecon - will fall to as low as -5.

But BBC Weather added while snowfalls are possible, there was "a lot more uncertainty than normal".

Lead BBC Weather presenter and meteorologist Simon King said: "It's going to be a cold week with temperatures only around 2 to 7 degrees Celsius - which is below the average for the time of year."

He added: "With a cold north easterly wind, snow showers will come into northern and eastern areas of the UK and while this will mostly be over high ground, there's a chance that there could be snow to low levels for a time.

"There's also a small possibility of getting some sleet or snow to southern areas of the UK later in the week too.

"Forecasting snow in the UK, in December is actually really tricky. Being an island, it's typically not quite cold enough and we still have a battle between milder tropical air and colder Arctic air.

"While we still have the battle of the air masses, how much rain that turns into sleet or snow is always a difficult forecast to make."
