An arctic blast is set to bring in snow showers across the UK, the Met Office has warned.
Those in the north of Scotland could see snow fall as early as next week, which is expected to reach England by the beginning of February, the agency said.
Forecaster Clare Nasir added: "There will be Arctic air streaming down from the north delivering snow showers, particularly in the far northeast of the country." Ahead of the extreme change in weather, the UK Health Security Agency also issued a warning, encouraging people to stay warm and look out for those most at risk as the freezing conditions spread across the country.
It comes after Friday saw temperatures plunge as low as -7.9C in Oxfordshire, with more frost and icy conditions on the way.
