UK WEATHER: OH, SNOW! HERE WE GO AGAIN . . .
DON’T be fooled by the thaw ... heavy snow and sub-zero temperatures are set to return by the end of the week across Britain.
Sharp frosts and treacherous icy stretches will greet commuters returning to work as temperatures struggle to get above freezing, forecasters said last night.
Schoolchildren back after the long Christmas and New Year break may also be set for more time off. The bleak conditions could force schools to close.
Scotland will be first to be hit, with snow returning from tomorrow until Thursday.
The South will feel no respite as cold air closes in.
Rain can be expected at first, but snow will eventually reach Wales, the Midlands and southern England by Friday.
And while the South will have temperatures as high as 7C during the week, at the weekend it will see them plunge to 1C and -3C overnight. In the North, daytime temperatures will be a shivering -8C by day.
But by night they could plummet to -13C.
On a positive note, forecaster Jonathan Powell from Positive Weather Solutions said the country will not face another “December scenario” with record hellish conditions crippling the UK.
