Forecasters have warned Britons that this week is set to be blighted by cold weather and wintry showers, despite “milder” temperatures expected to head our way in April. Scotland could be shivering -9C overnight as snow showers are set to batter many areas.
Weather maps have revealed large swathes of Scotland will be hit with snow showers today, with some of the snow sticking around until tomorrow (Wednesday March 29).
However, the rest of the UK is bracing for heavy rain and bitter winds as April approaches.This week began with freezing temperatures in northern areas, but forecasters predict the dominant theme this week will be on the pleasant side as the sun is to shine.
Temperatures vary from 6 to 9C in northern areas and 10 to 12C for the southwest, London and Northern Ireland.
