Forecasters expect it to turn noticeably colder, hovering closer to freezing during the day and dipping below overnight, with a yellow weather warning of snow mid-week.
Sky News meteorologist Kirsty McCabe said:"It's the first notable cold spell of the winter, and it will turn even colder from the North next week as the winds swing round to a more northerly direction."As well as making it feel much colder, Arctic air is lovely and clean and brings sparkling winter sunshine with great visibility.
It is unclear if the cold snap will stop this year, ending up as the warmest on record going back to 1884 following the mild autumn. Provisional figures show autumn 2022 - September, October and November - was the third warmest on record for the UK, with an average temperature of 11.1C which is topped only by 2011 and 2006 in the record.
November has continued 2022's run of every month being warmer than average, and the first 11 months of the year are the hottest on record for the UK. Rainfall for the season was also well above average for many areas, including southern England, much of which had been in drought status by the end of summer.
