Met Office warns the mercury will fall ‘to as low as -10C’ with a ‘risk of snow at times’ across the UK

The Met Office has said there will be an Arctic maritime air mass that will push across the UK from the north this week bringing some very cold days.

Forecasters have said to expect overnight frosts and a risk of wintry showers and snow and said there are “some uncertainties around how long this cold spell will last.”

Next week it will remain cold with “temperatures remaining well below average for the time of year,” the Met Office told us.

Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist, Rebekah Sherwin, told LondonLovesBusiness.com, “Temperatures will start to dip this week, with daytime temperatures struggling to get above freezing in many places from mid-week onwards.
