The UK is forecast to face a wintry end to the week with temperatures set to dip well below freezing. As Britons look ahead to Valentine’s Day, they are also expected to be hit by snowfall of up to 18cm in parts of Scotland.
Weather maps website WXCharts has predicted parts of northern Scotland, including the area around Inverness, could see mercury plunge to around -8C in the early hours of Friday morning.
Other parts of Scotland are also expected to see conditions remain cold, with temperatures varying from 0C to -5C.
The rest of the UK will be somewhat milder.
However, WX Charts suggests top temperatures in Wales and England at 9am will still hover around freezing.
