UK weather: Met Office snow and 'severe frost' forecast as Arctic blast continues - Gloucestershire Live

The UK is set for more cold weather this week after temperatures plummeted to as low as -7C over the weekend.

The Met Office is warning of 'severe frost' and ice from the start of this week as the Arctic blast continues to sweep across the nation.

Tomorrow morning is set to be the coldest time of the week in Gloucestershire, with temperatures reaching 0C and below in Cheltenham, Stroud and the Cotswolds.

Forecasters predict that the weather will remain cold but the skies will be mostly clear with some bright intervals.

Forecasters say snow could fall in Scotland as well as parts of northern England from Thursday (January 27), the Mirror reports.

Long range predictions by the Met Office also state that snow might fall in northern regions from early February as the freezing temperatures continue.

Before then, on Monday, forecasters predict that in the south it will remain cold but with the promise of brighter intervals, with similar conditions in the north, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Although snow is not expected this week, the Met Office's long range predictions state that we could see a white flurry in early February as the freezing temperatures continue.

The Met Office says in its long range forecast for February 7-21: "Early February is likely to see a continuation of a north/south split with more settled and cloudy weather expected in the south, and generally drier than average, while the north will be more changeable, milder, with some spells of rain.

"There is an increased likelihood of more unsettled conditions becoming established, with the northwest likely to be the wettest area, but showers or longer spells of rain may spread to most areas at times, but with the southeast likely to be the driest. Spells of strong winds are likely to develop more widely at times.

"Temperatures likely to be near or slightly above average although short lived colder interludes are possible. Any snow likely to be restricted to high ground in the north."

South West England weather forecast:

Today: A widely cloudy day with only isolated brighter spells. A small chance of some drizzle under the thickest cloud. Feeling rather cold due to the continued lack of warming sunshine. Maximum temperature 7 °C.

Tonight: Any cloud breaks largely filling in overnight as the cloud lowers, giving some hill fog. A patchy frost where breaks last the longest, but temperatures staying above freezing for most. Minimum temperature 0 °C.

Tuesday: Another grey day on Tuesday with cloud remaining widespread and minimal brightness poking through. Thus, feeling rather cold. Mostly dry but the potential for the odd spot of drizzle remains. Maximum temperature 7 °C.

Outlook for Wednesday to Friday: Similar on Wednesday but turning breezier later ahead of a band of rain pushing through on Thursday. Brighter skies follow into Friday; though the risk of further rain later.
