Bitterly cold Arctic blast forecast with temperatures set to plunge and snow and ice warnings issued
Forecasters have issued an alert over icy patches on untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths which could lead to accidents and injuries.A Met Office weather map predicts temperatures could drop to as low as -5C in parts of northern Scotland in the early hours of Wednesday. Some rural parts of Scotland could drop as low as -8C.
Met Office Chief Meteorologist Steve Willington said: “Cold and unsettled weather is taking charge over much of the UK this week, as cold air is drawn in from the north and brings with it the risk of rain, sleet and snow. “Although there’s still some uncertainty on the exact positioning of snow showers, the trend is for a mix of sleet and snow to fall as a cold front moves from the north to the south from late on Tuesday through to Thursday morning.
"Some clear spells are still around later in the week, with the best of any sunshine likely to be in the south and west of the UK, albeit feeling cold compared to last week.”
