Hold on to your hats, London!
Temperatures are likely to plummet from Wednesday this week, and we’re in for a few freezing nights.
According to the Met Office, temperatures will drop from a mild 10C on Tuesday to lows of 0C and -2C overnight on Wednesday and Thursday as forecasters warn the capital could face snow showers too.
We could also face colder spells than Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland, as London could be as cold as 5C.
Oli Claydon, a spokesman for the Met Office, told the Standard: “
“So the temperature today (Feb 6) is fairly mild for the time of year. Then on Tuesday it’s 10C, so up a little bit.
“But then the change really starts to happen after that. It drops straight back down to 1C overnight with some possibility of freezing and going below zero.
“Thursday it will be a colder night with chances of being below freezing. The theme continues through the day and into the weekend and these chilly nights continue below freezing.
“By the end of the week there’s a chance you could see some snow showers.”
London temperatures will drop even further on Thursday as we are set for weather as cold as 3.
