Many of us may be forced to turn the heating all the way up this week, with weather forecasters warning that a brutal Arctic deep freeze could send temperatures plunging to a bone-chilling -10C. Several yellow weather warnings for snow and ice have been issued by the Met Office for today and tomorrow, covering most of Scotland and parts of England and Wales.
Brian Gaze from The Weather Outlook told Express.co.uk: "The combination of high pressure over Greenland and low pressure over Scandinavia will lead to very cold Arctic air being pulled southwards over the UK during the next few days. Unusually for the UK it looks as though the cold period will last a week or longer.
"In the southern half of Britain temperatures will probably plunge to between -5C and -10C in some locations and in the Welsh valleys they may fall below -10C. Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist Rebekah Sherwin, said: "As the cold air pushes across the UK from the north temperatures will dip, with daytime temperatures struggling to get above freezing in many places from mid-week onwards.
"We can expect to see further snow and wintry showers as the week progresses, particularly in coastal areas or over higher ground. There will be widespread frosts with temperatures falling to as low as -10°C overnight in isolated spots by the end of the week."
