UK snow map: Temperatures could plunge to -3C (Image: WXCHARTS)
The forecast said: Monday should be largely dry with just the odd isolated shower as a ridge of high pressure topples across the UK. However, this will be a rather weak feature, and a new frontal system will move towards Scotland and Northern Ireland, bringing rain during the evening with some sleet or snow for the Highlands. Overnight, rain will also spread across Wales and England, although it might not quite reach eastern and southernmost England.
