Snow Forecast As Temperatures Plummet
Temperatures are set to plummet across the UK this week as icy winds move in from the Arctic.
The drop in temperatures could bring a chance of snow, it has been reported.
By Friday, the average temperature in England and Wales is expected to fall to just above freezing, with strong winds forecast for more coastal areas. Rain could then turn to snow as the colder air reaches the UK.
In Scotland, snow is also forecast to fall on higher ground.
In addition, a long-term forecast for the UK suggests temperatures could remain below average for much of the month.
