Temperature drop for this weekend

Temperature drop for this weekend

Most of the UK will be enveloped in a polar maritime air mass bringing cold weather.

Colder air will push its way south across the country leading to a temperature drop for this weekend.

Temperatures on Saturday and Sunday will struggle to get above single figures, and there will be widespread frosts across much of the country.

In northern England may only reach 5 or 6 C.

There is the potential for showers to fall as snow during this cold spell, even to quite low levels. However, the ground is still warm and accumulations of snow are unlikely.
