SNOW AND -10C ON WAY AS AN ARCTIC WIND BLASTS UK

DIG out the woollies – forecasters predict snow and frost is on the way this weekend.

A seven-day cold snap will begin on Sunday as winter arrives a month earlier than last year.

Freezing air from the Arctic will push daytime temperatures to zero across the North, delivering up to an inch of snow in parts.

Across the South, the first flakes could fall during the week as temperatures reach just 2C (36F) during the day.

And overnight frosts could send the mercury down to -10C (14F), causing treacherous driving conditions each morning.

Brian Gaze, of forecasters The Weather Outlook, said: “A cold spell will push southwards with an increasing risk of frost and snow for much of Britain.

“The highest chance of snow is in the North and East, with London also at risk and higher ground in the South-east, such as the Chiltern hills, having a higher chance of snow.

“Overnight frosts are likely to be widespread, with lows of -10C (14F) possible where snow lies.”

Met Office forecaster John Hammond added: “Average temperatures for this time of year are 7-9C (45-48F), but we are looking at lower than that next week.”

With winter expected to be as harsh as last year – the coldest in 31 years – experts have begun predicting a white Christmas.

Jonathan Powell of Positive Weather Solutions said: “We are still on for a white Christmas for most of Britain, even in the South-east. December and January are looking bitterly cold, so it looks as if temperatures will be parallel to last year.”
