UK weather forecast: Big chill to continue after days of sub-zero temperatures

Temperatures will remain above freezing overnight, forecasters predict, but Brits can expect a chilly few days.

After a tumultuous two weeks there are no weather warnings currently in place.

It comes after record levels of rain and below average temperatures have caused misery across the country.

But there will be some respite in coming days, according to the Met Office .

Overnight Northern Scotland will drop to around 2C, and people in Birmingham will shiver at around 3C, experts have said.

Much of tomorrow will be cloudy across the UK, with lows of 4C in the Midlands and Wales.

It will be warmest on the south coast, with Camborne in Cornwall set to bask in 10C temperatures, although light rain is likely to dampen spirits.

London will be overcast, and people in the capital would be well advised to wrap up warm, as it will be around 5C.

It will be mostly dry, forecasters have predicted.

Nevertheless there will be some rain in the southwest overnight, and some in Scotland will wake up to a frost tomorrow.

The colder temperatures have sparked a warning from medics.

Dr Emer OConnell, Consultant in Public Health at Public Health England, said: "Older people and those with heart and lung problems are at risk of getting sick in cold weather.

"Keep an eye out for those who may need help staying warm, ensure they wear lots of thin layers and have everything they need.

"Below 18 degrees, changes to the body mean that the risk of strokes, heart attacks and chest infections increase so heating homes to this temperature is particularly important to stay well."
