 Remaining Very Cold Added : Thu 2 February : 10:35 BST
The generally cold and settled conditions continue across Britain and Ireland today with sharp overnight frosts but sunny skies during the day. Not a lot will change in the next day or so, but a few snow showers will affect eastern coasts whilst the north and west will begin to turn cloudier and less cold as Atlantic weather systems try to push in.
With light winds and clear skies overnight temperatures dropped well below freezing in many areas. Down towards the southeast a moderate to fresh easterly wind hasn't stopped temperatures falling below zero and here it is feeling bitterly cold in the wind. Despite this it is sunny across many areas with most of the cloud over central and eastern areas from The Wash northwards. There won't be a lot of change today with most places remaining fine and dry, but a few snow showers may affect eastern coasts, perhaps giving a slight covering in places. As expected after such a cold start it will be a cold day with temperatures struggling to climb a degree or two above freezing before falling back quickly after sunset.
Another very cold night is in store with lows of -10C in some western rural regions, and quite widely minimums will be below -5C. Many places will remain fine and clear, but some snow showers will continue to affect eastern coasts, again giving some accumulations in places. For Friday and it is more of the same with a few snow showers in the southeast for a time. Many places will be fine and very cold although cloud and rain, preceded by sleet or snow, will move in across Ireland, tending to weaken as it does so. Looking ahead to the weekend and there is the risk of some snow in places for a time as milder Atlantic conditions try to move in meeting the cold air, but confidence is low on this at the moment.
