Britain was chillier than Lapland with spring colder than winter here for the first time in nearly 50 years
Greg Dewhurst, a Met Office forecaster, said: “It looks to have been the coldest Easter on record.
“It stays cold generally, with easterly winds picking up again, with no sign of temperatures rising to close to average through this week.”
Brian Gaze of The Weather Outlook added: “Now that upper air temperatures are forecast to be below January’s average temperature until mid-April, snow showers are an increasing risk from midweek.”
Icy conditions in mountain areas across the UK caused chaos for rescue services.
In Snowdonia, North Wales a climber was lucky to be alive last night after sliding 300ft down icy 3,261ft Glyder Fach, onto a rock.
He escaped with a broken leg and was flown by RAF rescue helicopter to Gwynedd Hospital, Bangor.
