Gardeners have been warned not to plant out tender produce and flowers as icy weather looms this week.
A cold snap beginning on Sunday evening is set to bring temperatures as low as -7C in some parts of the UK, bringing an end to last week s balmy conditions.
The lowest temperatures are expected in Scotland, where snow is also forecast over higher ground.
Met Office forecaster Sarah Kent said: We will see this plunge of much colder conditions coming in. It s Arctic maritime air, which does mean it s coming from the Arctic.
