People have had to wrap up warm this week with temperatures dropping down to -7C on Friday but while the mercury is starting to rise, the winter is not yet over

Maps for WXCharts show that temperatures are set to drop to sub zero around January 31 and the first week of February is expected to see heavy snow fall.

On February 5 the mercury could fall to as low as -10C in Scotland while there could be up to 90cm of snow in the far north west of the UK. In England there could be up to eight centimetres falling in Manchester.

Looking to this weekend it will be cold and cloudy for many areas with a high pressure but without the severe sub zero temperatures.

“For most the winds are going to be light but there is likely to be a lot of cloud about,” said Met Office forecaster Alex Deakin.

“For most we will be staying above freezing thanks to that cloud. The thick cloud in the North West still bringing a bit of drizzle and rain for the Highland and the western isles, quite breezy here as well so that will keep the temperatures up here to 7C or 8C.

"Most towns or cities 2C or 3C and as I said some pockets of frost are still possible where the skies stay clear. And where the skies stay clear it should lead to some sunshine on Saturday morning but that will be in short supply.”

It is likely to be cloudy for most with the sunny spells more likely in the south of the country. There could be rain in the north west of England while in Scotland with the cloud covering it will be far milder with temperatures possibly up to 12C.

It will continue to get milder going into Sunday.
