Scots should brace for freezing temperatures as low as -2C this week when an Arctic cold snap sweeps in, the Met Office has warned.
The distinctly autumnal weather is forecasted to bring below average temperatures for the season. Monday could mark the first day people turn on the heating as the "coldest night of the season so far".
Temperature highs will be in the mid-teens while some areas won't break above single-digit weather this week. Rain and strong winds are in the cards, with heavy showers to batter parts of Scotland and Northern England.
