We know it’s turning cold through this weekend but I want to break down the details and the question I ask is how cold will it get early next week across the UK and Ireland?

Wondering what the weather may have in store for perhaps a venture out to your favorite restaurant for a meal, or simply take a pleasant stroll through your local park?
