This week, UK residents should expect a blast of cold, arctic air, with temperatures expected to remain steady until Thursday. However, higher winds will make it feel colder than it has been in recent days.
The Met Office has identified a 'reasonably strong signal' for a downturn in temperature on Friday, with areas in the north and northeast of England and Scotland facing 'wintry showers', potentially falling as sleet and snow over hills.
Helen Caughey, Deputy Chief Forecaster at the Met Office, has warned that there is a 70% chance of overnight frosts in southern England, and that temperatures could drop generally across the country.
Beyond the Scottish mountains, snowfall is unlikely to be consistent. Any snow that does fall is expected to be confined to the far northeast and hills and mountains of Scotland.
By the end of the week, the Met Office is predicting lows of 1°C in the West Midlands and between 2°C and 3°C in northern and southern England.
Northerly chill winds are expected to continue into next week, with the heaviest and most frequent showers likely to be seen in the north. These showers could turn wintry in places, with snow possible on higher ground.
The weather in the south is predicted to be more settled for a time, with overnight frost and fog possible.
The Met Office advises that people in the north should keep an eye out for updates, as wintry showers could spread more widely across northern England and Scotland towards the end of next week.
