Weather: Normality to resume

Temperatures will return to normal next week after parts of the UK saw snow during the first cold snap of the year.

Snow was seen in higher parts of Scotland and northeast England on Saturday in what one meteorologist called “some of the coldest October days in a decade”.

But after the freeze, while temperatures will stay cool, they will begin to climb as we head into next week.

Met Office meteorologist Mark Wilson said: “It will be a chilly week, but temperatures will recover closer to what they should be for the time of year.”

After some woke up to flurries, Met Office meteorologist John West said on Saturday: “With temperatures [...] struggling to reach double figures across the country these are some of the coldest October days in a decade.

“We have seen some snow this morning, more up in Scotland. Aviemore has had around 1cm.”
