Temperatures in the UK are set to plummet to as low as -3C as a cold snap hits the UK.

Scotland and northern England can expect frost as the mercury plummets.

London and the south east are also expected to see temperatures plunge to -3C overnight on Monday.

Meanwhile in the capital, a cold wind from the east is expected to bring cooler daytime temperatures of 4C in the capital by Thursday.

Mark Wilson from the Met Office told the Standard: “Across the UK, Monday will be dry with a few showers in the north west of England.

“London during the day will have sunshine and it will be colder in Scotland,” he added.

Tuesday across the UK will be cloudy, bringing rain and stronger winds across the far west by the evening.

While on Wednesday, the west of the UK will be showery rain.

Mr Wilson said: “Moving towards Thursday, it will be colder due to air coming in from the east. Temperatures will struggle to get higher than 4-5C, considerably lower than the start of the week.

“However it will be drier compared to the last few days.”

Moving onwards to next week, the Met Office says it could be wet and very windy in the northwest of the country.

There could be some now where the colder air meets the wet weather, most likely over the hills in the north, but it may fall to lower levels in places too.
