Snow and ice warnings ahead of coldest nights of winter so far
With clearing skies and lighter winds on Wednesday night, temperatures will drop quite rapidly below freezing.
Across most parts of the UK there will be a hard frost with minimum temperatures getting down between -3 and -10 C widely.
Where there is still snow cover, it could be as cold as -14 to -16 C, making Wednesday the coldest night of winter so far.
Thursday night will be colder still.
Over the Pennines and the snow fields of Scotland, we’re expecting minimum temperatures to be -16 to -20 C.
The last time the UK recorded a temperature that low was on 11 Feb 2021 when the temperature at Braemar in Aberdeenshire, fell to -23 C.
Prior to that, you need to go back 15 years to find a lower temperature.
