Forecasters today warned of ground frost, with an Arctic blast of cold air set to send temperatures tumbling to below freezing at night.
Express & Star weatherman John Warner said it would get colder as the week progresses, with snow showers expected on Wednesday and Thursday.
Daytime temperatures on Monday will be around 9C, dropping to –2C overnight. By Tuesday the mercury will dip to 7C and 5C on Wednesday.
Mr Warner said: "Much colder weather is on the way, with night frost and wintry showers typical of mid-November, not the end of October. It will be quite a shock because we have been used to much milder weather recently."
