By UK exceeds lowest temperature in more than 25 years
The UK has recorded what is thought to be its lowest temperature in more than 25 years, after it reached -23C in northern Scotland.
The Met Office recorded a low of -22.9C in Braemar in the Scottish Highlands overnight on Wednesday.
Forecasters have said it was the coldest night since temperatures dipped to minus 27.2C on 30 December 1995.
The next lowest temperature recorded in the UK since 23 December 2010, when the thermometers plunged to -22.3C was recorded on Thursday.
The Met Office had recorded a low of -20.5C at Kinbrace and -21.4C in Braemar in the Scottish highlands overnight.
However, following the “extreme freeze”, large parts of the UK will face scattered snow showers and some sunshine in the next coming week.
Temperature figures are predicted to enter double figures with highs of 11C in some parts of the UK.
Some parts of the country still have weather warnings ongoing which may cause disruption on the roads and railways.
