Temperatures dropped as low as -6C (21.2F) in parts of England as the whole of the UK shivers through a wintry weekend.

Topcliffe in North Yorkshire experienced the lowest overnight temperature of -6C, while -5.6C (21.9F) was recorded in Benson, south Oxfordshire.

Billy Payne, a forecaster with MeteoGroup, said temperatures would rise slightly on Sunday but warned of another chilly night.

Showers are expected to push south before becoming confined to the north-east of England on Sunday afternoon. “It’s still a bit wintry in the hills but any snow which comes down will be short-lived,” he said.

In the early hours of Monday there will be a widespread frost with temperatures again falling below zero in most places and as low as -5C in some areas. There is also a risk of patches of freezing fog,.

Next week will see the weather become more unsettled. Temperatures will rise by Tuesday and could be closer to the average for November, or even slightly warmer. “It will be a bit unsettled with rain and strong winds,” Payne added.
