Snow could fall in parts of the UK this week with temperatures set to plummet over the coming days, forecasters say.
The Met Office said the country will become colder, cloudier and more unsettled from Monday, bringing the risk of wintry weather in the middle of the week.
Temperatures during the day will halve from the highs reached last week and fall below freezing overnight as a cold front pushes down from the north.
