Temps touched 35C in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria this afternoon.

This was the scene from Bajamar, Tenerife this afternoon.

Meanwhile, a frontal system has been progressing south over Scotland today bringing snow to Shetland. Behind it skies clear just in time for the overnight.

Shetland this morning.

Kinbrace, Sutherland dipped to -5C this morning but tonight we have a cooler, drier air mass in place.

-8C over Highland Scotland tonight.

Tomorrow night, the core of the UK chill is focused on central England where -7C is possible.

Unusual, a little, especially for what will be the morning of April 18 but the record is nowhere threatened at -15C recorded in Cumbria back on 2 April, 1917. Even the May record is -9.4C set in 1941.

It was a white Easter in several central Europe locations.
