Temperatures in Britain will rise again to double figures shortly after the UK experiences a two-week Arctic freeze – with a high possibility of snow on the horizon.
Weather maps published by forecaster WX Charts reveal from December 8, temperatures will rise again to a mild 12C.
London will reach highs of 12C on December 8, whereas Manchester will reach 9C. Plymouth will also reach highs of a mild 11C and lows of 9C.
Temperatures have fallen across much of the UK as parts of the country faced lows of -5C this weekend, even across rural parts of southern England.
Weather experts at the Met Office say it will turn colder again on Monday evening, with a return to “widespread overnight frosts”.

Dan Harris, deputy chief meteorologist at the Met Office, said: “Early next week, following a brief more unsettled interlude, we expect to see a return to widely cold but quiet conditions. Some rain, or showers, are likely to affect some parts of the east coast, and these could turn increasingly wintry over higher ground areas towards the middle of the week.”
He added: “At present, the most likely outcome beyond mid-week is that rain from the west slowly moves east, with snow possible over higher ground, and a continued risk of showers over eastern parts.
“However, there is a chance that a more active weather system arrives from the southwest, which would bring more widespread rain, stronger winds, and the potential for more significant snowfall should the air over the UK become sufficiently cold ahead of it.”

The coldest night of the autumn so far recorded temperatures on November 25 as low as -7.7C in Shap, Cumbria. Sennybridge in Powys, Wales, also recorded freezing cold temperatures of -6C, as shared by the Met Office on its social media pages.
The Met Office also shared tips on how to keep warm in cold conditions. Advice from the UK Health Security Agency states ‘wearing several layers of thin clothing” can “keep you warmer” than putting on one thick layer.
A continuation of colder-than-average conditions is to be expected over the next few days, with the Met Office monitoring developments in the forecast closely.
