The UK is set for an up and down week of weather, forecasters say, with temperatures on Saturday night into Sunday morning set to plummet to as low as minus 6c. The Met Office said the next week would see the "peak and troughs" of spring.
Gardeners have been warned to keep an eye on their blooms as sub-zero temperatures on expected on Saturday night could disrupt flowering. Met Office meteorologist Simon Partridge said lows of minus 6C were likely in northern regions on Saturday night, before a slightly milder turn on Sunday.
"Tonight will be cold, with widespread frost across the UK. We could well see a number of spots between minus 4C and minus 6C," he said. "Typically everything started flowering and all the gardeners do need to keep an eye for the frost tonight because that will cause issues for some, I'm sure."
