UK Braces for Warmer Weekend After Record Cold Snap

Temperatures expected to rise significantly following an unseasonably early frost across the UK.

Temperatures dropped below zero degrees Celsius across the UK, with a low of -2.7C recorded in Topcliffe, North Yorkshire.
This marked the earliest frost in September for the south of Wales since 2019, according to the Met Office.
The weekend is forecast to be much warmer, with many areas anticipated to be fine and dry, reaching up to 20C.
High pressure will bring fine weather to the South, while low pressure will cause rain and wind in northern Scotland and parts of Northern Ireland.
The warmer temperatures are expected to persist into next week, with dry conditions for most of the UK and temperatures slightly above the September average.
