The Met Office has debunked rumours that a second 'Beast from the East' could hit the UK in January.
Recent reports said meteorologists feared that a collapsing Polar vortex could trigger a major freeze causing widespread snow. Concern was raised after forecasters spotted a pool of cold air spinning over the North Pole.
However, the Met Office said there will be no 'Beast from the East' as heavy rainfall is most likely. Met Office meteorologist Diane Stroud told the Mirror: "The weather is firmly from the south and west for the rest of the week. There is no Beast from the East."
