Mild weather gives way to cold snap
A sudden cold snap will see temperatures falling below zero across the country and peaking at just 4C (39.2F) or 5C (41F), Meteogroup, the weather division of the Press Association, said.
North-westerly winds whipping off the Arctic are expected to bring at least two weeks of near-freezing conditions, making November up to 3C (5.4F) colder than last year.
