The Met Office has also suggested snow showers look set to his Britain next week.
Met Office expert Aidan McGivern said: “We start with a northerly airflow and snow showers, especially near the coasts in the north.
“But there will also be brighter skies for some. Then, from the middle of next week, low-pressure tries to move in from the southwest, and the impact of this is still a bit uncertain at this range.
“Different models are saying different things in terms of the track of this low, but you have the ingredients for snow with cold air in place and additional moisture supplied from the Atlantic, which will bring rain, but on the boundary with the cold air, you could see some snow.”
Will Lang, head of situational awareness at the UK’s national weather service, added: “There will be a resurgence in the really cold weather through the weekend and that spreads across the whole of the UK during the early part of next week.
Temperatures could plummet to as low as -10C

“Initially, this means there will be more in the way of showers around the coasts, turning increasingly to snow for many areas, especially further north.”
Tumbling temperatures come just days after Storm Henk wreaked havoc across much of the UK.
