Snow Blanketed North East Scotland - UK

Handout photo dated on November 18, 2025 shows on 18 November 2025, the first major winter weather event of the 2025-26 season took place across parts of the United Kingdom, including north-east Scotland. Heavy snowfall blanketed large areas of the region, leading to travel disruption, the isolation of several rural communities, and the closure of numerous schools. Emergency services were deployed to assist residents affected by road blockages and power outages, while local authorities issued weather warnings and urged the public to avoid non-essential travel. This false-colour image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites, shows widespread snow-cover across Aberdeenshire and the surrounding upland areas, with the city of Aberdeen visible along the coast. Data from Copernicus Sentinel-2, which provides high spatial resolution and multispectral observations, supports continuous monitoring of snow extent and surface conditions.
