The Met Office has warned of "unsettled conditions" in January with temperatures "colder than average".
Currently, the bomb cyclone that has sent temperatures plunging in the US is also causing the UK to experience wet and windy weather.
On Wednesday, heavy rain brought some flooding and travel disruption. Meteorologist Simon Partridge said: "The UK weather is going to remain unsettled with further spells of wet and windy weather due to the strengthening of the jet stream because of the weather in the US."
