The Met Office has said some UK places may even see some snow as the temperature drops
The Met Office has warned that temperatures are set to plummet at the end of this week as cold Arctic air moves in from the north.
High pressure will keep conditions dry and settled through most of the week until cold Arctic air starts to move in from the north on Friday. The change in conditions is set to send temperatures plummeting during the rest of the weekend, as well as bringing some strong winds to parts of the UK.In Greater Manchester, temperatures are predicted to drop 1C overnight by the end of the week, with temperatures elsewhere in the north west falling as low as -1C.
The Met Office said it will be "significantly colder" in the UK from Saturday, warning that rain and showers will likely be seen in most regions as well. "The heaviest and most frequent spells of rain are most likely in the north where they are likely to turn wintry, especially to the hills of Scotland, but perhaps also to lower levels as colder air digs south," the Met Office's long-range forecast states.
Before it turns colder, the UK will likely see some much brighter weather during the first part of this week, marking a change from the recent dull conditions. The "anticyclonic gloom", which which has left some places in the UK with virtually no sunshine for more than a week, has now started to clear.
