The first snows have arrived in eastern Europe thanks to Atlantic and Arctic air colliding while the first frosts arrived this morning to parts of central/southern Scotland.

By late weekend, it’ll feel like winter throughout the UK with the help of a brisk northerly wind, hill snow and increasingly widespread overnight frosts.

Through the weekend, winds increase out of the WNW across northern Ireland and Scotland tonight and through Saturday with gales in the west. Sunday sees the winds turn with a distinct bite to the northerly.

Then come Monday, high pressure is back overhead and bringing us the coldest morning of autumn.
