An unsettled and chilly week for the UK sat the Met Office.
Chief Meteorologist Andy Page said:
Polar Maritime air is becoming established across the UK with colder conditions expected for the next few days, but nothing unusual for late winter.
The week will be characterised by wet and windy spells across the southern half of the UK. The rain could turn to snow particularly over higher ground of northern England, Northern Ireland and Wales. Sunshine and showers will develop between weather systems.
The north will see drier and colder conditions with a few wintry showers. Frost will be widespread here by night, with a risk of fog and some icy stretches.
The unsettled weather is likely to continue as we head into next week as frontal systems continue to move across the UK from the south or southwest, bringing wet and occasionally windy weather at times which could turn to snow over northern hills.
