'Artic surge' on the way this weekend
Goodbye summer 🍂 ❄️
Last updated 23rd Sep 2022
According to the Met Office, we're waving goodbye to summer and hello to a crisp autumn, as cold air and longer nights have brought some chilly starts over the past week.
Further cold nights are expected, particularly over the weekend and into that start of next week, snow is predicted for northern parts of Scotland also.
In the latest Met Office 10 day trend, Aidan McGivern explained: “Across the UK temperatures are going to be below average for the second half of the weekend and into Monday as well as Tuesday.”
As temperatures will drip to low single figures and below zero for some overnight it’ll be cold enough for a touch of frost and some snow showers.
