Brits are bracing for sub-zero conditions and a chance of snowfall this week as a biting cold front sweeps the UK.
The Met Office recorded temperatures of -7.9C in Altnaharra, Scotland yesterday as it predicted snow showers in parts of southern England today and tomorrow.
It comes after the weather service confirmed that a major sudden stratospheric warming (SSW) event has taken place, of which the effects will arrive early next month.
