Many of us may be forced to turn the heating all the way up this week, with weather forecasters warning that a brutal Arctic deep freeze could send temperatures plunging to a bone-chilling -10C. Several yellow weather warnings for snow and ice have been issued by the Met Office for today (December 7) and tomorrow, covering most of Scotland and parts of England and Wales.
But the latest weather maps show the UK turning icy blue over the course of the next two weeks which could send the mercury plunging well below freezing throughout the country. This Arctic blast will trigger widespread snow, with large parts of Britain covered, particularly towards the middle of December.
A Met Office weather forecast for Nottinghamshire has already anticipated frost to hit the county on Wednesday, December 7.
