London is forecast to escape the worst of winter’s first blast as sub-zero temperatures bring snow to north this week.
The cold snap starting today will last two weeks, with temperatures falling below the seasonal average for November.
Experts predict the coldest blast will be felt most in the north where a blanket of snow is due in the higher regions of Scotland.
London will be spared from snow but wintry showers are set to move south by Wednesday.
A Meteogroup forecaster said: “It does look like much of the UK is in for a cold spell through next week. For at least a week, there will be cold north-westerly winds.
“Temperatures through next week will be much lower than recently and generally below the November average. It will struggle to get up to four or five degrees and during the nights temperatures will be below zero quite widely, meaning frost across most places.”
He added that there was a possibility of snow moving into southern areas as the cold winds move down across the country.
The icy weather will last through next week but conditions will be drier with less chance of snow.
