Parts of the UK are set to be colder than Finland next week, with subzero figures plunging to -7C in the Midlands. It's forecast to be chilly in Nottingham also as temperatures remain in single digits with lows hovering just a couple of degrees above freezing.
The UK is predicted to be colder than -5C nights in Finland's capital Helsinki. It comes just days after parts of the nation enjoyed up to 17C sunshine following months of bitter cold weather.Weather maps show the UK circled by chills from Greenland. Bitter breezes will bring daytime highs of 7C in the North and 9C for many in the south feel more like 4C to 6C.
Brian Gaze, a forecaster at The Weather Outlook, told the Daily Star: “Computer models show very cold air being pulled in from Wednesday, moving down from the north-west. It means the risk of snow returns, particularly for the North." Storm Otto swept across the north east of the country, bringing with it travel chaos and power cuts. Tens of thousands of homes faced blackouts over the weekend. More than 40,000 properties were left without power in Scotland, with around 7,600 still cut off as of 9pm on Friday. A man in his 50s was rushed to hospital in a serious condition after a tree fell on a street in Sheffield.
