Forecasters say that overnight temperatures are due to get colder and colder as the week goes on
Temperatures are expected to plunge below -8C by the middle of the week, with a warning of heavy snow in Scotland, the Met Office has forecast. Winds which are currently blowing from the east are expected to shift to the north bringing an Arctic chill to the country and below-average temperatures for the time of year.
He said: "At the moment, we have an easterly flow and as such our winds are coming from the east and that is a cold direction and it is cold out, however from Tuesday onwards we are going to get a northerly flow, so our winds coming from the north, that is Arctic air leading to our temperatures dropping even further as we go through this week."
"Much of England, including the South West, we could see temperatures of -5C or -6C which is exceptionally cold. We have a snow warning across the northern half of Scotland for Wednesday and that is when the snow showers coming from the north will be most impactful, they will probably start on Tuesday and we will see very significant snow in the north.
