UK weather: VIOLENT gales to SMASH Britain as Icelandic air bring HEAVY SNOW
Britain is facing an almost week-long freeze as frosty air from Iceland will cause temperatures to plunge across the nation, forecasters have revealed. The Met Office has warned wind gusts up to 60mph, heavy snow and temperatures below freezing point will batter the UK from tonight onwards. The cold air will continue until Thursday before temperatures are set to rise again.
Met Office meteorologist Marco Petagna told The Sun: “It turns colder on Sunday with air from Iceland, and it certainly looks cold until midweek in the East.
“Widespread frosts and the chance of freezing fog are expected, with Monday morning down to -5C in Scotland and -3C in northern England.
“Gales or severe gales with gusts up to 60mph in the West are expected into the weekend, with further heavy rain - and snow in the North, mainly on hills.”
The freezing weather conditions will also be accompanied by strong winds, threatening to cause widespread damage.
