  • An Arctic air movement is expected to bring colder-than-average temperatures and ground frost to the UK over the next few days.
  • A brisk northerly breeze will make temperatures feel even colder, with overnight lows potentially dropping to around freezing.
  • Daytime temperatures will decrease, with some eastern locations struggling to reach double figures, a stark contrast to the warm start of May.

  • The weather is expected to remain chilly with scattered showers through Thursday, before becoming more settled and brighter by Friday.
