Temperatures to fall to minus 5C across the UK as frost arrives

BBC News reported that the most widespread frost of the season so far is forecast for many parts of the United Kingdom. On Thursday evening, clear and calm weather will cause temperatures to fall rapidly across much of the country. Winds are expected to ease across Northern Scotland and along the North Sea coast. [1]

According to BBC News, Friday morning will bring frost on grass, pavements, and cars as air temperatures drop below zero from Scotland to Southern England. Most towns and cities will see temperatures around zero or just below, while rural locations in Scotland and southern England will drop to minus 5C. [1]

BBC News added that coastal counties along the western and south-western parts of the United Kingdom will not be quite as cold. Warmer sea conditions and an onshore breeze will prevent temperatures from dropping as low in those areas. [1]
