Thursday to be milder – but weather to take a cold turn on Friday
Tomorrow Brits will enjoy brighter conditions, with nationwide highs of 8C.
However, the weather will take a turn once more on Friday and feel colder and more wintry.
Met Office meteorologist Clare Nasir said: “The air will turn steadily colder over the next few days, culminating in a severe frost on Thursday night and into Friday.
“Before that though, we hang on to some milder conditions just to the south of this weather front as it sinks down to southern England and Wales through the next 24 hours.
“Further north, an area of low pressure will bring with it gales, if not severe gales, through Thursday.
“And we are likely to see some snow accumulations on the high ground, particularly in Scotland but even on the hills of Northern Ireland and Pennine Districts over the next few days associated with any showery bursts of rain and snow.”
