Forecasters have warned the UK is set to be hit by a "little ice age".

James Madden, forecaster for Exacta Weather, told the Express : “The cold is likely to win out before the end of November bringing an early taste of winter and the risk of snow.
“Waning solar activity means chances are high for a little ice age winter this year with notable periods of cold and snow.
“We have high confidence for the most cold and wintry conditions since December 2010 developing towards the end of the year.
He added: “This could bring excessive cold temperatures and periods of widespread snow.”
WXCharts show the mercury could drop as low as -7C to -11C during the week of November 23 with the frostiest conditions in the far north of Scotland.
The agency predict that snow will start from November 24 in the Grampians and the Highlands before moving down the country over the coming days. By the end of the month it is likely to cover parts of northern England and North Wales.
The weather maps show there is a chance that as far south as Brighton could have sub zero temperatures by November 27.
Forecasters from the Met Office predict that frosty conditions will arrive in the UK from the middle of next week.
Oliver Claydon told the Express : “Long-lead models are showing there is a chance for things to turn a bit colder in the middle of next week.
“Uncertainty is hinged around an area of high pressure, if it’s further to the west then it could pull a chance of snow from the north."
The Met Office's long range forecast from November 21 - 30 said: "High pressure will often lie close to western or southwestern parts of the UK during this period. This will tend bring a north or northwesterly airflow across the UK, with the most unsettled conditions across northern areas.
"Here, showers or longer spells of rain are likely with some snow across higher ground, possibly reaching low levels at times.
"Strong winds are possible across the north, especially around coasts and across high ground. Further south, it is likely to remain somewhat drier and more settled with the chance of some longer sunny spells.
"However, these clearer conditions will lead to some chilly nights with frost in places and some fog patches, these slow to clear during the morning."
