The cold snap is here to stay for the week, with figures plunging to below zero degrees on Tuesday (December 4).

A spokesman for the Met Office said for Tuesday and Wednesday, it will be "A frosty start with icy patches, then a dry day with scattered or broken cloud."

They added: Some sunny periods are likely and it will be feeling cool in the westerly breeze."

Wednesday is also set to bring rain and is forecast to be -1 degree, although that is predicted to be a short spell, with the rest of the day "turning colder with often sunny skies" and patchy rain for the rest of the week".

The adverse weather has come after moister air comes into contact with cold air from overnight, causing frost to form and making roads hazardous, according to meteorologists.
