Some areas around the UK will face localised blizzard conditions and up to 80mph winds which replaces seasonal highs that have been lingering for several days.
Warm winds coming from the mid-Atlantic created warmer than normal temperatures across the festive period, hovering around 16C. This made it the warmest New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day on record.
The Met Office has said Tuesday, January 4 will be “noticeably colder across the whole country”, with temperatures peaking at 8C or 9C in the south of England.
In England, this could bring snow over the Pennines and North York moors, as well as sleet to areas like Essex and London.
