Arctic blast on the way with sub-zero temperatures forecast for Halloween weekend
A chilly Halloween... ❄️🌨️☃️🏔️
Last updated 24th Oct 2019
Time to dig out the 'big coat'. After an unseasonably warm start to autumn, forecasters are warning about a potential “shock to the system” this weekend.
Temperatures are expected to dip with a blast of arctic air set to bring us our first taste of winter.
According to the Met Office; "Much colder weather will establish itself across all parts by Friday. The cold feel will be exacerbated by northerly winds. Showers could turn wintry over the hills. Overnight frosts in rural areas are likely."
No official warnings have been issued, it's very unlikely any wintry showers will settle at lower levels.
With night time temperatures expected to fall below zero, drivers may have to brace themselves for frost in the mornings - worth stocking up on de-icer.
We have had it so good recently, it had to turn cold at some point.
Lots of dry weather forecast for this weekend's Halloween fireworks displays. Wrap up warm though as it's due to be cold.
