November 26th 2023.
Last night was a particularly cold one for the UK, with the temperature in Shap, Cumbria hitting a low of -7.7°C. This was the coldest night of autumn 2023 so far for England, Wales, and Northern Ireland, with only Scotland having experienced colder temperatures.
The cold snap is thought to be due to an Arctic blast and is expected to last until around December 10th. After that, milder weather will start to come in from the west and north west. This weekend, deer in Richmond Park had a frosty start.
According to Dan Harris, Met Office deputy chief meteorologist, it is expected that temperatures will return to near or above average as we approach the festive period. However, this doesn't rule out periods of cold weather and even wintry hazards such as snow. Mr. Harris also stated that the east coast is likely to see some showers and that these could turn increasingly wintry over higher ground areas in the middle of the week.
It looks like the UK is in for a chilly few weeks before the warmer weather begins to arrive. In the meantime, it's a good idea to keep warm and bundle up if you're heading out.
