Brits are being warned of severe gales before an Arctic blast hits at the end of week bringing several days of snow with more than 20cm predicted to fall on Sunday.
After a milder few days a cold weather front is expected to sweep in on Friday bringing freezing temperatures as low as -3 in Scotland and a light covering of snow.
Met Office forecaster Clare Nasir said: “A transition from mild to cold over the next 24 hours after an active cold front delivers heavy rain and gales as it moves from the North West down towards the South East.”
